So many math skills are explored during early childhood! And so much of the time, children lead the charge in learning math. Their inquisitive minds and natural curiosity allow them to practice concepts that will help them the rest of their lives.
I have to admit, watching kids explore the world around them and learn new concepts naturally is one of my favorite parts of teaching.
Here are some math concepts that young children tend to delve into:
- Counting
- One-to-one correspondence
- Patterns
- Computation
- Measurement
- Shape identification
- Classification
- Color identification
- Sorting
- Number identification
I didn’t write out every single math concept young children learn about, but I feel like that’s a good start.
