Math Their Way Curriculum Overview
Math Their Way is an activity-centered, child-friendly manipulative math program.
Math Their Way is designed to help children develop an understanding of and
insight into the patterns of mathematics.
This program introduces mathematical concepts to children through a
hands-on approach.
Everyday materials such as shells, blocks and bottle caps are used in a myriad of ways to
make
mathematical concepts come alive. Children love to help by collecting these items for patterning,
sorting
and
classifying. Children also learn math skills by working with more complex items
such as unifix
cubes, linking chains, pattern blocks, attribute tiles and portion cups with their
daily math activities.
Free exploration, patterning, sorting, classifying, counting, comparing
and graphing are part
of our early years math program. Each month,
children
will engage in thoughtfully planned
activities designed to
strengthen their problem-solving and reasoning skills. These early
experiences
will give children confidence in their ability to use
mathematics. By freely
exploring
the math
stations, children will
develop an understanding and ownership
of
the math they are doing.
Math Their Way has proven to be a fun and successful program that
gives children the
vital foundation needed for future learning and success
in mathematics. |
