Early Learning Together with Betsy: Math Activity
Let’s kick off February with math games: Just like building literacy skills, young children need to build their basic understanding of math concepts before they move on to addition and subtraction in school. They may know how to count, but do they understand how many make up the number 4? Today, Betsy will share a bunch of games to play that build on concepts around number recognition, connecting numbers to quantities, and playing with math vocabulary.
