Brain-Boosting Toddler Activities
Math SkillsA young brain primed for math gives the child big benefits for his future. Activities to boost his math skills change his brain to become skillful in problem solving. Being skillful in math at an early age is also a stronger predictor of later school achievement than reading skills or the ability to pay attention.
Grouping Stuff Together
2 years old and up
Gather a collection of large buttons, colorful beads and things that are easy to sort into a table. Show your toddler how to group things together by shape, color or size. Let your child group the objects by himself. After the stuff are sorted, count them one by one.
On a blank paper, draw shapes and numbers that your toddler can color. After coloring the drawing, tell your toddler what she did, such as saying “You just colored the circle red”, etc.
Sing with your child nursery rhymes that involves numbers such as “Five Little Ducks,” “Five Little Monkeys,” and “Ten Little Indians.” While singing the rhyme with her, represent the numbers with objects such as toys or even just holding up your fingers as you count. Repeat this game as long as she enjoys it. Hearing the numbers again and again reinforces her math vocabulary.
