Math Skills - Can it be developed in Toddlers too??

If we can pen it down to points the following is observed:
  • They start to understand numbers, on fingers, like how old they are or how many objects are there in front of them
  • So, when reciting numbers, skip one or two of them on purpose to let them fill the gap!
  • Help them recognise opposites, like "Under and Over", "Light and Heavy" etc
  • Carry out shape sorting activities (triangle to triangle, circle to circle etc)
  • Toddlers love to shift things from one container to another, this is not only helpful in their eye to hand coordination but also of their basic understanding of measurement!
  • You can even explore and recognize patterns in day to day life. There are different kinds of patterns, like spirals, spotty, speckled and shapes as well. These can be observed in animals, vegetables and fruits as well.
Everything around us is full of learning for our little ones, we already know them so we are unaware.
However, its a sort of learning to observe for them as well as us!

Happy learning :)
