Starting Math Talk with your child

Math Talk with your child should start long before they are able to talk to you about what they are doing. When playing with your child, count the number of blocks they are using, name and point out the shapes and colors you see when playing and reading, and count out loud when having a snack.

Once your child is old enough to start grasping large crayons and can focus on something for a few minutes, start the official introduction of numbers and amounts.
