Chapter 5
Mathematics page 135
When my children were
toddlers, they enjoyed counting as we
put cookies on a cookie sheet or as we cut a cake
into pieces. They enjoyed having their fingers and toes counted or
counting as we walked up and down the stairs. These activities and
others like them are part of “math readiness.”
Math readiness may not be something you thought about
before. But, just as reading readiness is important, e.g., exposing
children to stories, the printed page, words, etc., so is math readiness.
In order for a child to understand about numbers and how they work, he
or she needs to have had many experiences with numbers and number concepts.
