Early Childhood: Development of Math Skills

Children can learn a lot by identifying or drawing shapes and counting objects. Such activities help in introducing mathematics at an early age. A structured program that enables consistent development of math skills in early childhood answers a commonly asked question: what are the best ways to support the development of math skills in preschoolers? This teaching course first establishes the importance of mathematics for childhood development.

How do you explain numbers to preschoolers? What is the purpose of counting activities for preschoolers? We provide the answers to such questions as the course progresses. We go over research-based facts that support specific techniques and methods to help you design an effective teaching plan. The course explores the concepts of time, geometry and measurement to provide simple operations for children to complete to help them develop their arithmetic skills.

Finally, the course analyzes the different factors that may impact the mathematical skills of young children. Our section on the basic principles of math education in preschool is designed to add to your confidence and ability to teach math in preschool. These skills add a valuable element to your teaching portfolio and can help lay the foundations for success in the minds of the children you teach.
