As with reading, math is a subject that children need to begin learning early in life. Having even the basics of math skills will allow your child to solve real-life problems.  With math, children learn to reason and to connect ideas logically.

In Kindergarten, instructional time should focus on two critical areas: (1) representing and comparing whole numbers, initially with sets of objects; (2) describing shapes and space. More learning time in Kindergarten should be devoted to number than to other topics.

The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students.  These practices rest on important “processes and proficiencies” with longstanding importance in mathematics education.

Calculators and computers were invented to save time and allow us to solve challenging problems with greater ease.

Here are a few math games you can play with your children. Each is a two-person game—designed to be played by a parent or older child with a younger child.

In Grade 2, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) extending understanding of base-ten notation; (2) building fluency with addition and subtraction; (3) using standard units of measure; and (4) describing and analyzing shapes.

In Grade 3, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for multiplication and division within 100; (2) developing understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions

 Make it fun: Let's count to 100 Game

This application helps your child count from 0 to 100.  They can see how the app counts by itself or they can click on a number to hear its corresponding value.

In Grade 1, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; (2) developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping

Parents are teachers too! The first five years of a child’s life are a critical time for learning. As a parent or guardian, you are your children’s first and most important teacher and what you do in their early years makes a difference.

Every child and adult needs to know and understand mathematics. It’s part of our everyday life. We all “do math.”

Mathematics is a subject of controversy because of the widespread prejudice of its difficulty and that is why many think that academically they are not good at it. This idea is the first obstacle to which we are exposed from childhood, and can constitute a true psychological block that
