Making Math Fun

Whether you love math or hate it, here are 3 ways to help your child learn early math skills:

Count fun items such as toys or cookies.
Encourage your child to describe where objects are in a space, such as the teddy bear is 'under the bed,' or a block is 'on top of the table.'
Ask her to compare sizes: Is this bear bigger or smaller than the other one?

This kind of thinking and talking lays important foundations for math. Your positive attitude, regardless of your own personal feelings about the subject, can help your child develop a positive attitude.
