A good foundation in early math prepares children for “math thinking,” and for later academic success. Early Math includes number sense, classifications and patterning, measurement, mathematical reasoning, and geometry (shapes). While reading Crash! Boom! A Math Tale, practice counting the blocks together, pointing out numbers in print, identifying shapes, and using relational language (taller, shorter, longer, bigger) to develop your child’s early math skills.
