Everyday there are opportunities to teach your children the general concepts of math. From the time they are an infants, we can begin teaching math by using counting activities. These activities can include story telling like one little piggy, two little piggy … to counting their blocks as we play with them.
Children do not always grasp the concepts of math immediately. Show them why and how math works. For example: When having a pizza dinner or sharing a dessert with your family you can teach fractions to your children. Start out with whole item (in this example = 1 pizza), then start dividing the pizza into portions to share with the family. Discuss how much is being used or how much is left over.
As they learn the concepts of math, they will increase their deductive reasoning skills and learn that math is fun.
There are also many educational math board games available that can be used to teach mathematics.
