Any kid with basic memory skills can count to 100. It's better to show the child how these numbers apply to their everyday experiences. Use ordinary items around the home to demonstrate basic math principles. Kids can learn a lot from a clock, calendar, tape measure and even a gallon jug of milk, if you explain the concepts to them. Make learning a game.
Small children can enjoy and learn from simple counting games using items around the house.
A scavenger hunt is a great way to explain geometrical shapes. Ask the child to find objects around the house which have certain shapes, such as circles, squares, rectangles and triangles. Play thinking games, too. Try a trick or two. In teaching math to kids, Rock often slips in a trick question.
