11 Ways to Help Your Child Learn Math

In This Feature

Teach Meaningful Counting

This learning involves, for example, understanding that the number two corresponds to two objects. Begin with small sets of two and three objects, and work your way up to larger numbers. In the beginning, have the child touch each object as he counts it. Later he will be able to count alone. Try putting clothespins into a large jar and counting as you drop them in, counting plates as you set the table, or counting toys that you are putting away in the toy box.
