Outline
•How children identify Mathematical concepts
•Sorting
•Shapes
•Neighborhood
•Symmetry
•Number
•Symbols
How children identify Mathematical concepts
•During they play (introduction)
•When they engage in prepared activities (reinforcement)
•Then use them in real situation (Training and application)
Sorting
•Sorting is important for mathematics as well as day to day tasks•They can sort according to shape color; size or any characteristicEg
Junk boxVegetables Fruitsflowers
Shapes
• They learn shapes through the materials they use in their day to day lives
• But you have to give them experiences to develop the concept
Neighbourhood
To learn what is in the environment
•Who is behind
•Who is in front
•What is on the table
•What is under the table etc
Symmetry
•Helps children to understand mathematical concepts
Number
•Same type in different pattern
•Different types for same number
•Introducing number with card
•Number
Symbols
0 1OO 2OOO 3OOOO 4
Summary
• We have discussed the basic mathematical Concepts
• Sorting
• Shapes
• Neighborhood
• Symmetry
• Number
• Symbols
