Preschool

Don't be afraid to learn with your toddler, it is the back and forth of the interaction that makes these activities valuable and teaches life long learning. Be the first person in your child's life to show that learning is fun, and establish good listening skills.

Counting, recognizing patterns and sorting shapes are age appropriate skills beginning at age 2. Start early and move forward thoroughly. Make sure the activities are fun. Click here to see an article on what you can expect for each age.

Experiment which skills are appropriate for you child, at these ages most children have unpredictable talents. Some skills may be easy and others not quite yet. Try any skill first and move up and down with the difficulty level. A bit of mental strain builds mental muscle, but too much will cause a lack of interest and stress, adjust as you go.

Time	Start Working on Logic:	2D and 3D Geometry, Fold a Shape:
		Track the position of the elements on the folded cubes.
Telling Time		Have your student draw something on the cube before folding, explore where each drawing has landed after folding.
		Use Venn Diagrams to sort shapes and find commonalities. The shared space can later be introduced as the "intersection". Sorting shapes

Introduction to Equations

Help your Child Evolve Logic and Mathematical Thinking

Step 1: Print the cards first, each drawing is equivalent to a number of squares. For example the butterfly is one square, the fish is 2 and so on. Cut around the largest square that includes each drawing.

Step 2: Use the cutouts to demonstrate equalities and possible replacements.

Step 3: Suggest the idea of balance. Help your child place equivalent elements. You can later introduce equality instead of the balance.
Use the cutouts to show how each side of the balance has the same number of squares.
