The 'HOW TO TEACH YOUR CHILD MATHEMATICS, NUMBER AND CALCULTIONS' book is a 186 page step-by-step guide that describes in detail how you can assist and teach your child early Mathematical skills.
It details the exact program, methods, techniques and steps that I use as a first grade teacher to successfully teach children mathematics, number and calculations, along with the areas of measurement, chance and data and thinking mathematically.
The program teaches skills that will allow your child to gain the best start possible to developing the foundations for a successful understanding of Mathematics throughout their school and everyday lives. Mathematics teaching has changed in many ways over the years. It is no longer simply completing calculations, but now involves thinking, investigating and the application of Mathematical knowledge.
This book includes information on-:
• Early Mathematical programs in your child's first year of school.
• What Mathematical concepts your child will learn in their first year of school.
• Outlines & explanations of each area of Mathematics that your child will study in his/her first year of school.
• A simplified explanation of the concepts of 'place value', 'conservation of number' and 'subitising' - the foundations of all number processing, that without, we set our children up for guaranteed failure in Mathematics in the next 12 years of their schooling. These are the concepts that underpin a child's ability in all reading of, writing of, and calculations in number. Most children who are failing in Mathematics or are experiencing Mathematical processing difficulties, will most certainly have not had sufficient grounding in any or all of the areas of 'place value', 'conservation of number' or 'subitising', and when taught properly find a whole new world of understanding.
• Instructions on how to teach these important foundation basics of 'place value', 'conservation of number' and 'subitising'.
• A copy of my actual first year / prep Mathematics yearly program planner, which lists every Mathematics topic to be taught on every day, of every week, of the school year.
• A copy of my actual first year / prep Mathematics weekly detailed lesson plans. These plans describe in detail and step-by-step how to teach each of the daily topics included in the above weekly plan, and are the exact plans that I work from on a daily basis. They are directly linked to each and every topic planned in the above yearly program planner.
• An explanation of specific resources that are used to teach my lessons and Mathematics program.
• Copies of relevant templates needed to reinforce some topic areas.
• Over 60 'hands-on' and real-life activities that you can do at home to reinforce and develop your child's ability to think mathematically.
I have over 25 years experience in teaching all year levels from prep to year six, with special skills and experience in teaching English as a second language to migrant children.
