Teaching children math is much more than just pages of addition and subtraction, word problems about trains going different speeds, and the circumference of a circle.
Your child will build a broad and firm math foundation when he learns about:
comparisons
patterning
sorting/classifying
counting methods (forward, backward, by 10's)
All of these concepts can easily be taught at home and in everyday experiences without your child even knowing he's learning math!
