Breakfast is coming up! Patterns are things—numbers, shapes, images—that repeat in a logical way. Patterns help children learn to make predictions, to understand what comes next, to make logical connections, and to use reasoning skills. Sun go night-night.
In the morning, the sun comes out and the moon goes away. At night, the sun goes to sleep and the moon comes out to play. The ability to think through a problem, to recognize there is more than one path to the answer. It means using past knowledge and logical thinking skills to find an answer. Carl 15 months old looked at the shape-sorter—a plastic drum with 3 holes in the top. The holes were in the shape of a triangle, a circle and a square.
Carl looked at the chunky shapes on the floor. He picked up a triangle. He put it in his month, then banged it on the floor. He touched the edges with his fingers. Then he tried to stuff it in each of the holes of the new toy.
It fell inside the triangle hole! Carl reached for another block, a circular one this time…. Math skills are just one part of a larger web of skills that children are developing in the early years—including language skills, physical skills, and social skills.
Each of these skill areas is dependent on and influences the others. Trina 18 months old was stacking blocks. She had put two square blocks on top of one another, then a triangle block on top of that. She discovered that no more blocks would balance on top of the triangle-shaped block.
Her physical ability allows her to manipulate the blocks and use her thinking skills to execute her plan to make a tower. She uses her language and social skills as she asks her father for help. Her effective communication allows Dad to respond and provide the helps she needs further enhancing her social skills as she sees herself as important and a good communicator.
This then further builds her thinking skills as she learns how to solve the problem of making the tower taller. The tips below highlight ways that you can help your child learn early math skills by building on their natural curiosity and having fun together. Note: Most of these tips are designed for older children—ages 2—3. Younger children can be exposed to stories and songs using repetition, rhymes and numbers. Play with shape-sorters. Talk with your child about each shape—count the sides, describe the colors.
Make your own shapes by cutting large shapes out of colored construction paper. Gather together a basket of small toys, shells, pebbles or buttons. Count them with your child.
Sort them based on size, color, or what they do i. With your 3-year-old, begin teaching her the address and phone number of your home.
Talk with your child about how each house has a number, and how their house or apartment is one of a series, each with its own number. Notice the sizes of objects in the world around you: That pink pocketbook is the biggest.
The blue pocketbook is the smallest. Under the chair? Even young children can help fill, stir, and pour. Through these activities, children learn, quite naturally, to count, measure, add, and estimate. Taking a walk gives children many opportunities to compare which stone is bigger? You can also talk about size by taking big and little steps , estimate distance is the park close to our house or far away?
Galileo Galilei was the first person to attempt to measure the speed of light, in the early s. Galileo and an assistant each stood on a different hilltop with a known distance between them, the plan was for Galileo to open the shutter of a lamp and then for his assistant to open the shutter of a lamp as soon as he saw the light from Galileo's. Using the distance between the hilltops and his pulse as a timer, Galileo planned to measure the speed of light. He and his assistant tried this with different distances between them, but no matter how far apart they were, he could measure no difference in the amount of time it took the light to travel.
Galileo concluded that the speed of light was too fast to be measured by this method, and he was correct. We now know the speed of light very precisely, and if Galileo and his assistant were on hilltops one mile apart, light would take 0. It is understandable that Galileo was unable to measure this with his pulse!
