Learning Mathematics 2AbstractKindergarten is where most students build a fundamentalknowledge of mathematics. Pre-school aged children are taught numbersand shapes but usually through the process of recitation for memorization.Kindergarten is where students improve upon their basic understanding of what their numbers are, to how they can apply these numbers to create asimple problem solving strategy. In kindergarten students learn aboutnumbers via pictures, manipulatives, class work and workbook content,and through various artistic means, such as singing or game play. Asstudents get older they begin to see what learning style suits them, andhow they can incorporate that learning style into their class work or studies. Kindergarten students may not be as advanced in their understanding of what motivates them to learn, but through previousexperience and the knowledge of working with and having my ownchildren I have come to realize that children need visual stimuli to promote learning. Therefore, the goal of this assignment is to discuss theneed and understanding of visual perception in mathematics; its uses, thetheories that support its use; and how to incorporate visual perceptiontechniques in mathematics curriculum.
