Developing Mathematical Thinking

Maths is all around us, therefore children’s mathematical thinking can be developed easily through every day activities.

As baby grows, talk about numbers, count their toys, count their fingers and toes, and teach them the names of shapes and so on. Before you know it you’ll be surprised at how they are able to use these concepts to problem solve from an early age.

Here are more ideas below:

  • Count the steps as they walk
  • Name the numbers on doors
  • Read the numbers on the front of buses
  • Read the numbers on a clock
  • Sing number songs
  • Count backwards as well as forwards
