Simple Mathematical Concepts
by: Ms. Margareta Triwidjiyanti
By setting the foundation to understand terminology and concepts early, children are prepared to apply the information in a classroom set¬ting. The concepts are already understood, so elementary teachers are able to focus on the application of ideas. While preschool children might not yet be ready to learn the practice of the math skills, they can gain a basic idea of the practice through language and practice. While kindergarten classes review the basics of counting forward and backward, early childhood educators can set a stronger foundation by focusing on learning to count before reaching elementary school. By focusing on number sense, teachers are providing math skills that are necessary for future concepts and advanced calculations. On the 27th of September, Kids Land held Mathematics com¬petition for all levels from Toddler to K2 levels. They were divided into 2 sessions : morning session and afternoon session. The purpose goal of this com¬petition is to inspire math students to greater achievement.
