Learning Skills

  • Shapes
    • Shapes

      Identifying and manipulating shapes lays the groundwork for geometry by giving children concrete experience with angles, symmetry and relative sizes.

  • Early Number Sense
    • Early Number Sense

      As early as 6 months, babies begin to understand the concept of numbers, noticing small groups of one, two or three things. As children develop number sense they learn to count by ones, skip count and count backwards, gaining the foundation for operations. Children who have good number sense find learning operations like addition and subtraction much easier.

  • More Than, Less Than
    • More Than, Less Than

      The concept of more than/less than deepens a child's number sense by teaching him to compare numbers. Children begin with informal and approximate comparisons using the terms "more" and "less"; then they learn the terms and symbols for greater than (>), less than (<) and equal to (=).

  • Number Recognition
    • Number Recognition

      To begin their study of math, children must distinguish numerals from letters and shapes and understand that numbers are symbols for amounts.

  • Sequencing
    • Sequencing

      Even toddlers can often recite number names in order, but the ability to compare and order numbers in sequence indicates a practical application of number concepts.

  • Addition
    • Addition

      Once children know that numbers are symbols for objects (2 stands for two cars) they learn to count sets, or groups of objects, to find sums. Finally, sets of objects can be replaced by numerals and added together in equations.

  • Subtraction
    • Subtraction

      The inverse of addition is subtraction - to take away objects and tell how many are left. Once children grasp subtraction, sets of objects can be replaced by numerals in equations.
