Where to Start When Learning Math for the First Time
A child starts learning mathematics the moment he/ she starts exploring the world. From identifying shapes to counting them and finding patterns, everything builds on what they know already. A child aged 1-2 can start by understanding the numbers and what they mean. And when asked how old they are, ask them to use fingers to show how many years they are. The next step is to recite numbers, and it's okay if the child skips some of them. Understand the words that measure or compare things (faster, under, behind) Explore the measurements by filling and emptying containers. Match basic shapes like a circle to circle and triangle to triangle. Start seeing patterns in daily routines and things like floor tiles.
