Finding and talking about math throughout the day can go a long way in supporting the early math and language development of young children. These short, animated videos are designed specifically for Spanish-speaking and Spanish/English bilingual home-based child care providers. Each video highlights ways in which in-home child care providers can promote their children’s math skills during routine activities, such as cleanup, playtime, mealtime, and story time.
This video shows how children build key early math skills when they sort toys according to color and size, practice numbers and counting, and compare quantities to find out which basket has more or fewer toys. It’s important for child care providers to know that:
- Math learning starts at birth.
- Caregivers help grow children’s math skills.
- Noticing and talking about the math in our surroundings supports math learning.
- Math is numbers and so much more.
