Math Skills

In math, we have recently been learning:

• how to put numbers cards 0-20 in order
• how to read numbers 0-20
• counting to 100
• identifying and knowing the value of a penny and nickel
  
• ordinal positions (first through sixth)
• how to create and read AB and ABB patterns
• how to read the days of the week on the calendar

You can practice some of these skills by:

• having your child read numbers you see in your everyday environment (at the grocery, in the car, at home, in books)
• having your child count objects you see
• letting your child sort your loose change, then discuss what each coin is worth
  
• asking your child to read the days of the week on your home calendar (they use the first few letters as clues)
• having your child create AB and ABB patterns out of objects in your home (pencil--pen or fork--spoon or big book--little book)
• practicing writing letters and numbers (we have practiced all of the numbers 0-20 and all of the capital and lowercase letters)
