Math concept is accquired by applying social skill, science, mathematics and bridge language to the children. These can be divided into 3 types of learning experiences.
Naturalistic Learning Experience
This learning experience starts from birth to 2 years old. This is where the babies will be curious about things surrounding them. They will learn with their five senses namely touching, listening, smelling, looking, and tasting.
Informal Learning Experience
This learning experience starts from 2 years old to 7 years old. There is no need for a plan. The adult will just let the toddlers explore the things by themselves which is a naturalistic experience and watch over them. If they encounter a problem, the adult can offer help; or the toddlers is doing something, the adult can approach them by asking them questions and take the opportunity to teach them something new.
Structured Learning Experience
This learning experience starts from K1, K2 to primary school. Lesson or activity plans are prepared by the teacher to teach.
Step 1: Assess the level of knowledge the children have by asking them questions.
Step 2: Decide on the objective on what the children should achieve after the lesson or activity.
Step 3: Plan the experience by providing the environment and the method to teach.
Step 4: Prepare materials for teaching and ensure that the materials chosen are not dangerous.
Step 5: Start teaching.
Step 6: Evaluate whether the objective is met or not. If not, then the activity has to be re-planned.
There are 5 Math Concepts:
- Numeral: Create whole number operations, literature & mathematics, Symbolic level(number & quanity, parts & whole, number above 10 & place value ), operations with whole number using +,-,x, /
- Logical: Classifying, patterning and seriation
- Spatial Sense: Spatial relationship(distance, position, direction), spatial utilize, spatial perception(organization & pattern, construction)
- Geometry: Geometirc shapes, 3D geometric figures
- Measurements: Volume, weight, length, temperature
