What is Pre-K Math?
Pre-k math is all about laying a solid foundation in numeracy skills that young children will build on as they grow. At this stage, kids are developing critical mathematical thinking and problem solving skills through engaging, hands-on activities. The core areas of focus include:
- Number Sense: Understanding number concepts, counting, and recognizing quantities.
- Algebra: Identifying shape and color attributes, patterns, and understanding spatial relationships.
- Measurement: Exploring concepts like size, weight, capacity, and basic concepts of time.
- Data Analysis: Collecting, organizing, comparing, and interpreting data.
- Geometry: Developing shape recognition, spatial awareness, sorting skills.
These foundational skills help children develop confidence in math and prepare them for more advanced concepts in the years to come.
These five disciplines of math are strategically woven into the Daily Lessons in Preschool Mathematics Curriculum to take the guess work out of teaching math to preschoolers.
