Power of Play - Math Week

1, 2, 3......It's MATH WEEK at AoHC!  

The power of numbers and shapes can be very beneficial in early childhood education.  Recognition of numbers and shapes helps support the development of other number skills, such as counting!  Recognition of numbers and shapes also develops into more sophisticated abilities such as reading and writing.  

So go ahead, ask your child, which one is bigger and which one has more.  Ask simple questions with props such as, "If you have 3 cookies and I take away 1, how many are left?"


Here are some fun ways we played with Math this week!






Infants learned shape and color recognition!

Toddler 1 read all about Dora and the shapes she finds on her adventures.


Preschool 2 made shape collages! 

Preschool 2 also made patters with colored blocks.
