Child Development - Helping Your Child Learn Math

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 of hopscotch 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 49 page ebook 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 dont think of it as teaching. Think of it as fun.

So, lets get started. I invite you to find an activity in this book and try it.
