BLOG 5 - Maths is Fun!

Although math can sometimes be intimidating for parents, there are several ways to promote math learning in the home.In preschool, children learn basic math concepts that they will build upon for the rest of their school years. Learning centers are practical ways to help active preschoolers learn math skills in a hands-on way. 

An excellent way to create math learning centers is by using math tubs, containers that hold games or hand-on activities in a certain area. Preschool math tubs could be labeled Sort and Classify, Counting, Numeral Writing and Shapes.Math learning games can take place outside the classroom in a way that is fun and educational for elementary school students. Parents and teachers can help children be successful with basic math skills by providing real life examples of how to use basic math skills and encouraging kids to take part in hands-on math activities.
