Did you know that from 3 months to about 2 1/2 years old your baby can actually tell the difference between 94 and 95? While your baby is born not recognizing our numerical representation of quantity, your baby can automatically perceive quantity without counting or guessing.
Math is just another language. Categorized like a language math is made up of only 10 words: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0.
However, children taught numbers, but never exposed to quantity find it impossible to do instant math. Instead, they rely on memorization of actual equations (ex. 7 x 2 = 14; 7 x 3 = 21) to come up with the correct answer.
This differs from instant math because once you forget a fact you have to start all over again. And even if you do remember all of your times tables, what happens when you reach numbers about 12?
First you need to cover How to Teach Baby Math - Quantity Recognition, Quantity Equations, and Quantity Problem Solving (find the link below).
That could be considered part one on How to Teach Baby Math.
How to Teach Baby Math then transitions into numbers by presenting the numerals from 1 to 100 and 0 in the same way that you presented quantities.
Your child will move a lot faster in part two of How to Teach Baby Math, so you'll probably switch out 3 or 4 cards a day. Once you covered up to 100 you can show a random variety of other numerals (ex. 302, 571). You don't have to show them in order and you don't have to cover each number. With only a little exposure to the How to Teach Baby Math Method, your child will go a long way.
You can begin equations with numerals as soon as you have taught up to 20. This follows the same pattern as with quantity equations. Just remember no mixing of addition and subtraction with multiplication and division.
The How to Teach Baby Math Method lets you gently guide your child through the simple principles of math.
Tiny children only needs 5 minutes a day for about two weeks per principle and they will understand the actual process behind the principle on their own. However, you want to focus on the principle, not drilling in a specific fact. So every time you show them an equation, do it with different numbers.
