Math For Preschool

This document provides an overview of teaching math concepts to young children in early childhood education. It discusses the importance of teaching math at an early age, as a child's math knowledge at kindergarten entry predicts later academic achievement. Key math concepts for young children are identified, including number sense, counting, one-to-one correspondence, number recognition, classifying and sorting. Tips are given for integrating math experiences into other areas of the curriculum through concrete and manipulative activities that consider children's prior knowledge and interests.

that contribute to the acquisition of knowledge about math
concepts.

PHYSICAL KNOWLEDGE
Learning the characteristics of color, size and weight
of objects in the environment.

when an educator asks students to sort the
cutlery by putting all of the forks in one
group, all of the spoons in another, and all
of the knives in a third group).
