[quote=Anonymous]Talk about math and use math manipulatives (things you can hold -- can be many things) rather than worksheets at this age. ex. blocks -- count them, divide them into groups, see how they can re-sort. like 28 blocks can be 4 groups of 7 or 2 groups of 14 etc. my son actually learned the concepts of multiplications and division this way, before schools! good old fashioned counting. i have vivid memories of counting with my very young son and seeing the "Aha" moment of going from 99 to 100, and then 999 to 1000. fractions can also be taught with any object that you can cut into pieces -- like food making 10 is a really important foundational concept when kids are starting math -- have blocks and other toys in sets of 10, and challenge your kid to make the groups (like 4+6, 3+7) [/quote]
