How to Support Math for Toddlers
Toddlers are busy and are at the perfect developmental stage for absorbing math concepts. It is important to support those budding math skills as much as possible. Some suggestions for supporting math for toddlers are:
Play games
Play games that support math skill acquisition.
Help in the kitchen
Toddlers can help measure, pour, stir, and scoop in the kitchen. This teaches them about measurement which is an important math concept.
Shape play
Talk about shapes, sizes, sides, and colors of shapes that you see all around. You can play a shape scavenger hunt game or I Spy.
Give choices
Give the toddler choices by asking questions (e.g. would you rather use the square block or the rectangle block?)
Solicit help
Solicit the help of toddlers in passing things out, organizing toys, placing things in the trash. This supports the development of spatial relationships.
Talk about it
Talk about math concepts frequently. Point out shapes, numbers, patterns, quantities and more.
Make it fun
Make math fun for toddlers. Praise them for their efforts and make math an exciting part of their day!
