A 2 years old can learn mathematical skills through play and
practice. Play is one thing a child is not taught, he/she just start and flow
into playing naturally. While practice on the other hand is to keep doing until
it becomes part of the child.
There are a lot of things a 2 years old should know and fun
ways to learn the basic mathematical skills base on his/her level. To achieve
this time, dedication and passion need to find it root in your heart toward
your child or pupil.

ACTIVITIES

Sing number rhymes to your child, dance and
demonstrate using (fingers, cups, flash cards etc). Note that it is best you
don’t go beyond number 5; in fact stop at 3 until he/she can use 1 and 2,
proceed to the next. It should be a daily routine.
