Math skill development will be encouraged through activities that help children:

• identify basic shapes: triangle, circle, square, rectangle, diamond, oval.

• sort by shape, color, size, weight.

• compare and describe size—long/short, big/small, etc.

• reproduce a pattern using objects.

• count from 1-20.

• recognize numerals 1-10 and put them in order.

• count 5-10 objects and answer how many.

• develop one to one correspondence.

• develop math vocabulary, e.g. simple fractions such as a quarter or half instead of big or

       little.

• understand measuring concepts.

• understand combinations of numbers and/or simple addition and subtraction concepts using

       pictures or objects.
