"Send me a Text Message!"Why is America failing to teach essential math concepts to our young children? It's not that we're failing at math, we just need to re-evaluate how we approach early math education. On this episode, I'm taking a deep dive into the importance of early math literacy and how it sets the foundation for future academic success. I explore how proficiency in math is not just about acing algebra but about equipping our children for economic and life success. The discussion will touch on how patterning and spatial skills significantly contribute to early math development, and the role parents can play in supporting their children's math abilities.No, early math difficulties do not just magically resolve themselves. The second part of my conversation focuses on preventing math difficulties in children from an early age. I'll be sharing some practical steps that you, as parents, can take to support your child's math skills at home, and recommend some resources for further exploration. This episode is packed with valuable insights and advice you can't afford to miss! So, if you're a parent or someone interested in education and child development, tune in and let's demystify early math education. Love my show? Consider being a regular subscriber!
