Math skills matter. Teaching baby about numbers and quantities helps her learn to count. This is important because counting leads to an understanding of how much and how little. It helps baby understand number relationships while she practices grouping and categorizing. All of these skills are foundational for kindergarten preparation. Understanding numbers also helps build problem solving and critical thinking. Children are able to quantify the components of real world problems while they understand their relationships that ultimately build solutions. Understanding the idea that 4 really means four items helps baby add meaning behind the symbols she is learning, which ultimately improves her ability to remember the symbols. Ultimately, teaching baby that numbers are part of the daily world helps baby better understand and interact with daily realities while preparing her for the school world.
