How can I explore math every day with my child? You can start by...

Reading Together

Talking Together
• In everyday conversation use appropriate math vocabulary such as sequence, solution, shape names, positional words, directional words

• Talk about the math in everyday situations: counting, problem solving, pattern recognition, the position of things, sequences and transitions

• Wonder aloud about numbers of things, comparisons, problems and solutions

• Look for and talk about numbers everywhere: on clocks, radios, clothing, appliances, signs, houses

• Brainstorm solutions to everyday problems

• Encourage your child to give you directions and use positional language

Investigating Together
• Provide materials that encourage explorations: shapes, blocks, collections of small objects, items to fill and empty

• Use concrete objects for counting, comparing, measuring, sorting

• Use everyday situations in the indoor and outdoor environments to promote mathematics learning

• Create patterns of objects, colors, shapes and words

• Look for and describe patterns inside and outside: on book jackets, clothing, in a garden, on buildings

• Make counting books with your child
