How Early Math Helps Our Future

5/9/2017

 
It isn’t enough to learn formulas or memorize multiplication tables. Young minds need to experience math and have fun talking about it.
​

Starting Early is The Secret

Instead of treating math as a subject, parents and teachers can expose children to math concepts. The earlier, the better. As research proves, the earlier children become comfortable and competent with math concepts, the better they will perform in their academic career.

  • Children who have low math scores in the beginning of their kindergarten year continue to lag behind their better prepared peers through the 8th grade. [Source]
  • Early math skills have the greatest predictor of later success. Across 6 longitudinal studies, the top 3 predictors of later achievement are school-entry math, reading, and attention skills.[Source]
  • Research on children's learning in the first 6 years of life demonstrates the importance of early experiences in mathematics. [Source]
  • A child’s early encounters with math develops their confidence in their ability to understand and use math skills. These positive experiences can help develop traits which contribute to their future success in and out of school. [Source]

How to Use Math in Everyday Life

Children can be exposed to important concepts like scientific inquiry, spacial skills, problem-solving, language proficiency, reasoning, prediction and making connections by using everyday items and experiences.

What do early math experiences look like?
  • Sorting, matching & comparison: everyday items, toys, big vs. small- develop scientific inquiry skills
  • Building blocks: wooden blocks, legos, sculpting, building sets- develop spatial skills
  • Games: board games, card games, dice- develop problem-solving, addition, language skills
  • Patterns: puzzles, art, shape play and labeling, dance- develop prediction, connection making and reasoning skills [Source]

    What's the buzz?

    "Since incorporating the Vidget in our classroom, I have noticed an improvement in attention span, participation, and regulation in my students"
    Tara, Occupational Therapist
    "The little girl I used it with sat down and ate lunch which she usually does not do - she tends to stand or sit and wiggle in her seat."
    Melanie, Director of Occupational Therapy

    "When Pearl is in a Vidget, her behavior is 100 times better than when she’d in a normal chair. She’s still has difficulty sitting for that long, but it makes a HUGE difference! Without it, she’s everywhere."
    Lara, Pre-K Teacher
