Math & Measuring
Measurement and Comparison
Children learn to measure objects by their various attributes to make comparisons. This might look like noticing differences in size between two objects (i.e. pointing to the bigger ball) and will progress to using language to compare the sizes of objects (i.e. “big” and “little”; and “mommy,” “daddy,” and “baby”) and knowing the sequence of some parts of their daily routine.

Mathematics
The development of mathematical knowledge and skills contributes to children’s ability to make sense of the world and to solve mathematical situations they encounter in their everyday lives. Knowledge of basic math concepts and the skill to use math operations to solve mathematical situations are fundamental aspects of school readiness and are predictive of later success in school and in life.
