Math

One great way to include math instruction at home is simply by including your child in the many math processes that occur every day.  Here are some ways to include math at home.
- Buy an analog clock and keep it near a digital clock to help your child learn time. 
- Have your child estimate the total cost of a purchase.
- Allow your child to help you count money or pay at stores.
- Discuss measurement and units when measuring ingredients during cooking. 
- Discuss equivalencies when modifying recipies.
- Keep track of your child's height and weight.  Estimate growth for each year and check estimations. 
- Calculate and record daily servings of food based on the food pyramid. 
- Find two- and three-dimensional shapes in real life.
- Read books that include math concepts.
