Encourage early mathematics and number activities
It is important that children are introduced to mathematics as a meaningful, pleasurable activity, not a rote memory skill. It is for this reason that I absolutely LOVE the games incorporated into the Everyday Math curriculum. Many of your students’ teachers send home weekly or bi-weekly math game ideas. The games are easy to implement, and have many rewarding benefits for your child. Beyond these specific games, many simple board games with dice are excellent ways of teaching counting, one-to-one correspondence, and turn taking.
