Can You Really Teach Your Baby Math?

Saturday June 27, 2009
The author of this book sure thinks you can! Although I'm a big advocate of early numeracy, teaching babies math may be a bit of a stretch, or let's just say that I'm a skeptic. Then again, if you're interested, be sure to check out the book.

As for some great strategies for your pre-schooler, give these tips a try, or if your child is kindergarten age, help prep them with some of the concepts listed here.

(1) Frank Ho says:

Learning or teaching at any age is fine as long as the person been taught is absorbing new knowledge and is interested in learning.

It does not make sens to limit teaching by age especially youw own children. With that said, the age limit is there because educators need some criteria to say if the child is ready to learn without doiing any trial lessons. On top of that there are emotional readiness problem.
