It is so important that we connect math to our everyday lives. This help children move beyond memorization and math facts toward understanding math. Math is fun, useful, and are all around us in the world. When we look for shapes around us and call them out, we are “talking math”. This is one of the best ways we can help kids develop a positive attitude toward math. Work on "talking math" with your family and start a shape hunt on your next walk. Help your child find shapes in your community with questions like:
Or perhaps you want to "play" with your food and create geometric shapes with your meal. For example use crackers and cheese to create triangles or parallelograms. You can turn meals in to math play and math understanding. One of Mrs. Harden's favorite Odd Squad episode is called, Crime at Shapely Manor. It is a mystery featuring shapes. To learn more about math talk featuring shapes, check out this Exploring Shapes PBS Kids site. Stay well, Tulip Today's blog is curtesy of Mystery Science.
