Every child is unique and hence the best way for them to learn math in preschool depends on their innate aptitude and the level of interest that they demonstrate in this subject. What math teachers must do is nourish, develop and refine this aptitude and interest by creating an atmosphere that encourages learning and using activities that are effective and engaging. Parents should also try to use the methods used by preschool teachers so the child can continue to learn at home.

Steps

What Does Preschool Math Consist Of?
Gain understanding of the basic categories within the subject of math that are taught in preschool. Although preschool curricula can change and new math topics may be added in future, most preschools have the following topics included in their syllabus.

Ø  Geometry: students learn about shapes such as square, circle and triangle.
Ø  Math language terms: understanding equations and terms such as "add," "subtract" and "equal to."
Ø  Measurement: learning to measure distance, length, width and quantities.
Ø  Number sense: understand what numbers mean and their value (for example, how many is 6 or 10).
Ø  Space and location: what it means to be near, far, behind or ahead of something else.

Math Teaching Methods

Focus on different math skills that need to be developed to help the child learn math in preschool. Math teachers often use teaching methods that focus on 1 skill area at a time during early learning stages so the child develops a clear concept of how to differentiate between different tactics used to solve math problems.

Geometry
1.       Tell students the names of different shapes and then ask them to repeat them.
2.       Have students join shapes to create new shapes. Ask the student the name of the final shape and the smaller shapes used to create it.
3.       Increase the accuracy of the students' understanding of shapes by having them draw the shapes on blank paper.

Math Language Terms

1.       Use math language terms such as "add" or "subtract" while talking or singing to children.
2.       Read books or show videos that demonstrate how a person can get more of something by adding, or less than something by dividing.
3.       Give 2 students a different number of toys and then ask them to share so they both have an equal number of toys.

Measurement

1.       Offer the child a collection of similar toys but of different colors (for example, some yellow and some green toy cars). Ask the child how many he or she has of each color.
2.       Think of a number and ask the student to guess what it is by giving clues. For example, you could say that the number is between 3 and 8.

Number Sense

1.       Count the days to the next school holiday on a calendar.
2.       Draw a number line (a line with numbers to create a basic scale).
3.       Show the student 4 playing blocks. Then mix them with the other blocks and ask the student to take out 4 blocks. Repeat with different numbers.

Space and Location

1.       Ask the child to point to things that are near or far.
2.       Sing songs that describe concepts such as up and down, before and after, or in and out.

Tips

Preschool math should not be taught only during math class. Preschool teachers can also teach math skills during other subjects, such as art, by having them draw different shapes. This helps the student develop an understanding of how different subjects are related and offers a more unified learning experience.
Parents and teachers should communicate frequently to discuss the child's interests and development.
