Family support is vital to a child's math education. When your family talks about math, plays math games, and reads books about math, you are increasing your child's understanding. Math learning starts when your child is an infant and continues every day. Math encompasses the mathematical concepts and skills that children develop during the birth-to-five-year period, including children's developing understanding of number and quantity, number relationships, basic algebraic concepts, and key attributes of objects, including size and shape, the way objects fit, are positioned, and move in space.
