Many picture books incorporate mathematics concepts within the context of the story, which often makes the mathematics more relevant and meaningful for children. Your child may be more willing to talk about math if it is found in the latest book they are reading. Additionally, reading to your child improves their language and listening skills.

You use math everyday, and so does your child. Find mathematical moments throughout the day and share them with your child. These seemingly ordinary moments help children connect mathematics concepts and skills not only to the world around them but also to their own lives. Additionally, you can create mathematical moments for your child throughout your child’s day to help them make mathematical connections.

Math games provide a structure and process for children to engage in problem solving. In addition to all the foundational mathematics learning that happens while they play games, children are building their confidence as problem solvers and practicing important social-emotional skills, such as persistence. Although children can play many math games independently, they especially enjoy playing with friends and family.

In recent years, many online games and apps have been developed to help students develop their mathematics skills and understanding using electronic devices. Although some research (https://hms.harvard.edu/news/screen-time-brain) has shown that too much screen time can negatively affect children’s development, mindful use of educational apps can be beneficial for children and is often very engaging for them. To maximize the benefits of online apps, use them with your child; as you play, help them think about what they're seeing and doing on the screen.
