Ideas for Supporting Young Children’s Math Skills During Coronavirus and Beyond
With many schools and childcare centers closed, there is a critical need for learn-at-home materials focused around early math. DREME’s At-Home Early Math Learning Kit for Families offers practical, research-based strategies that busy families can use to support their young children’s early math learning—at home, right now, for free, and without special materials. Available also in Spanish, these fun and easy ideas are geared toward children from birth through age 8 and can help families use their time together to explore math in everyday home routines.
Included in this kit are:
- Reading tips for finding and talking about math in picture books.
- Recipes that inspire math conversations in the kitchen.
- Math snacks—quick and easy ideas for finding and talking about math in everyday family routines, such as mealtime and clean-up.
- Card games that allow children to practice skills like adding and comparing numbers.
Download At-Home Early Math Learning Kit
Tell Us: How Are You Using and Sharing the Kit?
Feel free to download these resources and share them widely. We know that families are amazing innovators and we would love to hear how they are using and adapting these resources. Please send your stories and questions to contactdreme@stanford.edu.
Stay tuned for more learn-at-home resources in the coming months. For more activities and ideas, visit the new DREME Family Math website. We will be adding more early math content for families soon, so keep checking back!
