• Before your little one starts school, most
children develop an understanding of addition and
subtraction through everyday interactions, games,
and activities. Learning with informal activities
gives children a head start when they start
learning math in school.
• The tips below highlight ways that you can help
your child learn early math skills by building on
their natural curiosity and having fun. Most of
these tips are designed for children aged 2–3.
Younger children can be exposed to stories and
songs using repetition, rhymes, and numbers.
• Shapes - Play with shape-sorters. Make your child count the sides
of the shapes, and describe the colors. Make their own shapes by
cutting large shapes out of colored construction paper.
• Place the call - Begin teaching your kid the address and phone
number of your home. Talk with your child about how each house
has a number, and how their house or apartment is one of a
series, each with its own number.
• You’re cookin’ now! - Even young children can help fill, stir,
and pour. Through these activities, children learn, quite
naturally, to count, measure, add, and estimate.
• Picture time - Use an hourglass, stopwatch, or timer to time
short (1–3 minute) activities. This helps children develop a
sense of time and to understand that some things take longer than
others.
• Read and sing your numbers - Sing songs that rhyme, repeat, or
have numbers in them. Songs reinforce patterns (which is a math
skill as well). They also are quite fun to practice language and
• Start today - Use a calendar to talk about the date, and
the day of the week. Calendars reinforce counting,
sequences, and patterns.
• Pass it around - Ask for your child’s help in distributing
items like snacks or in laying napkins out on the dinner
table. Help them give one cracker to each child. This
helps children understand one-to-one correspondence.
• The long and the short of it - Cut a few (3–5) pieces of
ribbon, yarn, or paper into different lengths. Talk about
ideas like long and short. With your child, put in order
of longest to shortest
• Learn through touch - Cut shapes—circle, square, triangle—
out of sturdy cardboard. Let your child touch the shape
with their eyes open and then closed
• Pattern play - Have fun with patterns by letting children
• Graphing games - As your child nears three and beyond,
make a chart where your child can put a sticker each time
it rains or each time it is sunny. At the end of a week,
you can estimate together which column has more or fewer
stickers, and count how many to be sure.
• With simple tricks, you can make any simple task an
activity. Kindergarten math activities are designed for
children to develop an interest in math. There are
different child development programs that use such simple
and fun activities to reinforce math skills in children.
i-Maths is one such Child Enrichment program that makes
learning math- fun, easy and fruitful for children. Learn
