Early number knowledge and math skills are fostered by children’s Home Learning Environment.
Children move from reciting the count sequence (1,2,3,4...) without conceptual understanding, to understanding what this order means, and eventually developing Cardinality—an understanding of how many items are in a set.
Children’s ability to perform simple arithmetic Operations, including addition and subtraction of multiple numbers, is a foundational math skill and is predictive of later math success.
Flexibly representing numbers in different ways allows students to better understand them, how they relate to each other, and how to best work with them to solve problems.
Students must be persistent and work through the challenge of gaining a deep conceptual understanding of mathematics.
Students rely on support from teachers and caregivers to model positive attitudes towards math, as they may pick up on math anxiety and internalize it themselves.
