In this eBook, an experienced Montessori teacher guides parents in teaching mathematics to their 3-5 year old children and assisting 6-7 year olds who may be struggling. The activities primarily utilize common household items, with suggestions for affordable learning materials. A link to free math printables is also provided for various activities. The content covers pre-math skills, understanding amounts and numerals up to the thousands, the Decimal System, basic operations, fractions, and geometric shapes, along with practical applications of math in daily life. Children typically show increased interest in numbers and language around ages 3-5, and this resource helps parents capitalize on that sensitive period to build a solid foundation in math skills and foster a positive attitude towards numbers. By engaging in these enjoyable and straightforward activities, children can enter kindergarten or first grade already performing at a second to fourth grade level, paving the way for ongoing success. For those facing challenges in math during kindergarten through second grade, these activities offer a transformative approach, turning math from a struggle into a pathway to achievement.
