Enhancing Early Childhood Mathematics: Parents as Partners

Explore the developmental pattern of learning mathematical ideas in children, from emergent stages to Grades 3-5, with parents as essential partners. Discover how daily experiences and math concepts are intertwined, fostering a general-to-specific learning approach in kids. Math words and concepts are integrated seamlessly into everyday life, supported by parents through songs, nonverbal communication, spatial awareness, and exploring the environment. Experience mathematics in learning centers such as movement, art, water table, dramatic play, blocks, and language arts, where concepts like numbers, classification, comparison, ordering/seriation, shape, and form are brought to life. Grades 3-5 introduce algebra, geometry, data, and measurement, expanding on basic math concepts and encouraging students to question, make connections, and consider different strategies.

  1. Chapter 20Creative Mathematics Developmental Pattern of Learning Mathematical Ideas Parents as Partners Mathematics in Learning Centers Movement Center Art Center Water Table Dramatic Play Blocks Language Arts

  2. Developmental Pattern of Learning Mathematical Ideas Emergent Beginning first months of life Daily experiences and math concepts General-to-specific learning Math words/concepts in daily life

  3. Parents as Partners Mathematic concepts reinforced through: Songs Nonverbal communication Spatial awareness Exploring environment Sequential words Different physical perspectives

  4. Mathematics in Learning Centers Movement—over, under, above, how high, how long … Art center—number of items, measurement, problem-solving, size, differences Water table—amounts, volume, size, comparisons Dramatic play—telephone numbers, today, yesterday, tomorrow, sizes, amounts Language arts—number books, books with math concepts

  5. Early Childhood Mathematical Concepts Numbers—rote, rational, one-to-one correspondence, cardinal, ordinal Classification—likenesses and differences Comparing—differences in size, shape, and so on Ordering/seriation—begin with opposite ends of a series Shape and form—basic shapes to more complex

  6. Mathematics—Grades 3 to 5 Builds on basic math concepts Making connections Managing new concepts Student learns to question, consider different strategies Introduction to algebra, geometry, data, measurement
