Young children need to learn math language very early . It begins by you introducing that language to them. You can do this by using two empty laundry bottles : Johnny I see that you are playing with the big red bottle . Once the baby gets the concept he will begin to use the word with other objects . If the baby has toys cars you can say can I have the big car? If the child is able to pick out the big car and give it to you he got it. Now you can add a new vocabulary to the same object : bigger /smaller . Give the infant/toddler time to understand the language and to be able to add the concept to the object. Understanding language is the first step to ward reading.
Math language starts early .Long/ short, high, more, less ,half are just a few of the math words that you should introduce and give time for your toddler to understand their meaning . Uses concrete activities to help him to understand. During play is a great time . Wow you made a high tower. That is a long train line.
Sharing information and advice on the most critical time... The first 2000 Days.
