Math & Measuring
Making math part of the everyday world
“Early math is not about the rote learning of discrete facts like how much 5 + 7 equals. Rather, it’s about children actively making sense of the world around them.” - NAEYC, 2014. Open-ended, play offers children exploration opportunities that encourage children to understand math concepts such as of number, quantity, size, and patterning. It is easier to understand what 12 means when applied to a real-life task such as finding six blocks to build a tower or placing1 napkin at each person’s place at the table
