By integrating rudimentary math skills into play, mothers and other caregivers can help prepare children for math instruction during kindergarten and elementary school. Researchers from Boston College have published a study showing that children whose mothers added basic math and counting questions to play time out-performed other students on pre-school and first grade math assessments.
Key math concepts are essential for learning mathematics.
The researchers identified three math concepts that were the keys to improving later math abilities: 1) naming numbers; 2) counting by numbers; and 3) using counting words to label groups of objects. This research builds on prior studies that showed that math assessment performance in early elementary school grade-levels is correlated with higher incomes as adults.
