HELPING YOUR CHILD LEARN MATH
WITH ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN AGED 5 TO 13
"Why?"
This is the question we parents are always trying to answer.
It's good that children ask questions: that's the best way to learn. All children have two
wonderful resources for learning -- imagination and curiosity. As a parent, you can awaken
your children to the joy of learning by encouraging their imagination and curiosity.
'Helping Your Child Learn math' is one in a series of books on different education topics
intended to help you make the most of your child's natural curiosity. Teaching and learning
are not mysteries that can only happen in school. They also happen when parents and
children do simple things together.
For instance, you and your child can: sort socks on laundry day
-- sorting is a major function in math and science; cook a meal together -- cooking
involves not only math and science but good health as well; tell and read each other
stories -- storytelling is the basis for reading and writing (and a story about the past
is also history); or play a game together -- playing physical games will help
your child learn to count and start on a road to lifelong fitness.
By doing things together, you will show that learning is fun and important. You will be
encouraging your child to study, learn, and stay in school.
This book will give you a short rundown on facts, but the biggest part of the book is made
up of simple, fun activities for you and your child to do together. Your child may even
beg you to do them.
"The first teachers are the parents, both by example and conversation. But don't think of
it as teaching. Think of it as fun."
So, let's get started. I invite you to find an activity in this book and try it.
