About “Mathing” Tips: These tips provide parents with ideas for math exercises that will develop their child’s math abilities. Just as you should read with your child, you should “math” with them as well, using natural language that makes sense to a child. Doing math with your child is a great way to interact with them and help them learn about our world.
Today’s parent tip for “mathing” with your child focuses on measurement. Measurement is math that we use every day. Measuring things with your child helps them develop a sense of scale. They can also practice counting, begin working with fractions, and eventually practice repeated addition (or multiplication) when converting between units of measure. For example, finding the number of inches in two feet.
