Why math?
(preliminary)
• Structural story:
• teachers and schools provide extra
opportunities for early math achievers?
• moderate math skills keeps kids out
of special education?
Why math (con’t)?
• Motivational story:
• Math feedback is very concrete?
• Kids who don’t master math don’t
think they are good at math or good at
school?
Summary
• Early math is surprisingly important
• Kindergartent teachers spend much
less time on math than reading
• Early math instruction is geared toward
skills kids already know
• Math is also highly predictive of
completed schooling and earnings
