Hi Ladies,

How would you gently introduce math to a preschooler?

Just via every day activity?

Or games? (sorry if this is an off-shoot of Sarah's post)

If games, what is age appropriate for preschool?

Thank you all!

Maggie

I think Suzanne got it all. :) Candyland and Chutes and Ladders are perfect math games for that age. And puzzles! The perfect math activity for a preschooler! There's also a fun book by Maryann Kohl called Math Arts that is wonderful!
