MATHEMATICAL SKILLS

Math skills taught in early childhood education are designed to provide

the foundation needed to succeed in elementary school and beyond.
More focus should be given in teaching the basic skills that help in
building advanced mathematics for the higher classes.

Infants begin to learn math at a very early age. The understand the
differences in quantity, can compare the shapes of the objects during
their play a or other aspects of the daily life.
A nurturing parent child relationship can help build support for the early
learning of any concept.
Recognizing Numbers:
The basics of learning about numbers is the first vital maths skill a child
must develop. Child must learn to identify the number.
This can be done by various activities like rhymes, tracing, worksheet
activities where children can enjoy and learn the numbers.

Number Sense:
Children must learn to count forward and backward to learn about the
relationship between numbers and should also so be able to identify a
number and no the value associated to that number. By focusing on
number sense teachers are providing math skills that unnecessary firm
future concept and advanced calculations.

Classifying/Sorting:
Creating sets is the ability to make group of items in a logical way. This
requires the skill of classifying. Classifying is a higher-level skill than
comparing. After observing and comparing the children can take the
information and classify and group in a logical way. In the below example
the children observe the different colours of the objects and classify the
similar colours and group them into four different groups based on their
colours.
Spatial Relationships:
Spatial senses the ability e to place items in the correct spaces or places
using a logical design or pattern. An example is provided below where the
shapes should be kept in the correct squares.

Sequencing/Patterning
Patterning for Sequencing is another high-level skill then comparing. It is
the ability to place items in a specific order based on the size, shape,
colour or order of existence. In the example given below the child
sequences the action of the chick coming out of the egg and becoming a
hen.
Comparing:
Comparing is the ability to identify similarities in items or groups. The
children can identify similarities as well as differences such as colour,
weight, height, quantity etc. Comparing conferred the be classified as
below:
1.Tall and Short:

2.Empty and Full:

3.Near and Far:

4.First and last:

5.High and Low:

6.In and Out:

7.Few and Many:

 FEW MANY

8.Light and Heavy:

9.All and None:

ALL NONE
10.Hot and Cold:

11.Same and Different:

12.More and Less:

13.Pair: (Pair of Socks)

14.Group: (Group of Kids)

15.Set: (Set of Clothing)
