How to set your child up for success in math with Jess & Nicole

Send us Fan Mail

In today’s episode, we are joined by Jess and Nicole, early childhood educators who focus on the mindset around math. It is a very common problem that children and families struggle with both learning and teaching math.

Join us to understand the most important skills you can prepare your child with before sending them to pre-K or kindergarten – hint, it’s not memorizing their numbers.

Jess and Nicole share the importance of uninterrupted play in early life and how it can actually help your child in school. We learn about number sense and what that means for preschool-aged children. We discuss how, as a parent, you can help your child develop a true understanding of numbers and spatial reasoning. Sometimes, math isn’t just difficult, and you may need to consult a specialist about learning disorders. Jess and Nicole remind us that making mistakes and productive struggling are necessary skills for our children to learn as they can further develop problem-solving skills.

Have you ever heard that you should not let your kid count on their fingers? Tune in to see what the math educators think about this.
