Math




Math or mathematics is the language we used to talk about quatity, shape and pattern.


Our curriculum includes worksheets that enhance the number sense, shapes, measurements and patterns.
 
 
What is number sense?
Number sense is the ability to relate number symbols to the amounts they represent.
 
When children are learning the meanings of the number symbols 1, 2, 3 and so on, they are actually learning several different ideas at the same time.
 
Research has shown that it is highly recommended that children first learn the concepts of addition and subtraction by combining or separating groups of objects.
 
 
 
What is shape?
Knowing the names of common shapes is typically a child’s first experience with geometry, but it’s just the beginning.
 
What is spatial sense?
It is recognizing how objects relate to each other and to the viewer in terms of shape, size, location, and position.
 
 
 
What is measurement?
Young children can get a head start on measurement by learning comparison word pairs, like more and less, tall and short, big and small, long and short, as well as near and far.
 
 
 
What is pattern?
Learning to recognize patterns gives children a big boost toward learning every branch of mathematics, from counting to algebra.
