How to teach pre-school maths at home

[sweetbaby]

Hi


I’m looking for a concise math program for my boy since I’ll be going back to work soon. Use to plan my own lessons and materials but I hope to maximise the time I have with him. Thinking of Right Start Math. Anyone tried this before? Where can I buy this program? Many thanks.

Heyya sweetbaby, i don't recall where i've seen this sold

as an all inclusive set within S'pore but you can purchase
Right Start Maths products online at this link > http://activitiesforlearning.com/levela.aspx

If you dun mind getting them separately, Growing Fun has
the Math Balance, Tangrams and clock... the wooden cubes
and tiles can get from Daiso... the tally sticks from Popular,
the base ten cards and place value cards can make your own,
and if you want the solid cubes, ten bars and unit cubes... you
can also purchase them from either Montessori stores, Growing
Fun stores and Early Learning Centre stores. This programme
promotes hands-on/concrete Math similar to Montessori Math..

Since you're planning to homeschool, you can just get the manuals
for Right Start Math (since you particularly liked this curriculum) and
prepare the the bulk of the teaching/learning materials yourself for
cost-efficient reasons if you have the time for it, that is...

If you're keen on purchasing similar concrete Math items, the Motherhood
forum has mommies selling the Family Value Pack from overseas. The
only doubt i have is the quality of the wooden pieces from some of the
manufacturers. Some not so good manufacturers actually package these
items without ensuring that the wood is nicely papered down smooth and
varnished so there tend to be wooden splinter surfaces that one needs to
check prior to child handling. Just my two cents.

Can anyone advise me what is a kid expected to learn/know for Maths by end of N2? We are currently residing overseas and my boy does not go to school. I want to make sure he’s not lagging too far behind when he enters K1 next year. Thanks!

Hi, juz to share a little bit...


Hav found a website for basic maths skills - http://www.mathsisfun.com . There are thousands of variations of worksheets to be printed out. Suit for presch or kindergarden kids. FOC.

I like it, coz it save me a lot fo time to set the maths qtns for 3 of my K1 kids. I can spend more time to teach them one by one to build their gd foundation in maths. And save $ too to buy the simple maths workbooks for them... This is an alternative worksheets website besides other maths games.

Just saw this... looks great... just what I need... esp the maths trainer... hope this will help my gal... she's still very slow in addition... tryin to teach her to memorise... not count...
