Building Strong Foundations: Exploring Early Math Abilities Part II
EXPLORE:
Early years numeracy unfolds through distinctive developmental stages, commencing with the foundational groundwork in babies under 12 months. During this initial phase, infants begin to acquaint themselves with rudimentary numerical concepts, often through engaging counting games and exposure to simple patterns facilitated by their caregivers.
Between the ages of 2 to 4 years, a substantial leap occurs in children’s numeracy skills. This period marks significant progress, with children acquiring more structured counting abilities, including the skill to count objects and recite numbers in sequence. Additionally, spatial sense emerges during this developmental phase, enabling children to comprehend concepts like distance, size, and position. Concurrently, comparisons become a focal point of early childhood numeracy, with children mastering the understanding of more and less, fostering a foundation for their growing numerical literacy. The introduction of seriation, or the ability to logically arrange objects, and sequencing, understanding the order of events, further contribute to the multifaceted development of early math abilities. Explore through these videos a series of collective experiences in fundamental numeracy, counting, spatial sense, comparisons, seriation, and sequencing as they form framework, shaping the trajectory for more intricate mathematical understanding in subsequent years.
