Are you looking for fun, simple ways to help young children learn about math? While planning activities and curriculum are valuable, a lot of early math skills can actually be taught to our youngest learners through everyday play and interactions. By drawing children’s attention to numbers, shapes, and patterns throughout the day, children will begin to develop an understanding of early math skills and concepts. Math is all around us, and since children start developing math skills in infancy, they are never too young to start learning.
