Classification activities are a great way to help develop math skills in preschool-aged children.
Classification is an important part of life – we classify on a regular basis when putting away silver wear, sorting laundry, food grouping in grocery stores, we alphabetize books and so on. Ways to encourage these developments in young children is by providing classification activities.
Apply math concepts in everything!! Highlight math in as many activities as possible each day. Incorporate math in songs, games, and in stories. Expose children to every day interactions as well as with many hands-on experiences. By creating a preschool classroom chocked full of math materials and opportunities, children can continue to explore their innate sense and interest in math.
