How you can help your child at home with Math.

Play games as a family, such as counting games and games that require keeping score. **Games require children to use strategies to make decisions, solve problems and develop an understanding about numbers, how to use them (number sense) and computational skills. Encourage your child to count real objects: cookies, coins, toys, etc. Encourage him/her to say one number as each object is touched. Arrange objects in different ways for countingfor example, in piles, rows, and circles. Encourage your child to count by twos, fives, and tens. Have your child sort toys, food, and books by size, kind, or color. Put dolls, cars or blocks in order from largest to smallest. Play What Am I Thinking Of? by describing a toys size and shape. In the kitchen, have your child look for familiar two-dimensional shapes, circles, squares, triangleslike a round pot or a square napkin. Sort silverware from the dishwasher to the drawer. Count the petals on different flowers. Measure a sunflower or bean plant daily, keeping track of how it grows. Find triangles, squares, circles, and rectangles around the house or in the neighborhood.
