Your Assignment Module Number and Heading: ED104 MATHS
Your Assignment Type: Standard Question
Currently Working in Childcare? No
Your knowledge: Beginner

Your Question?
1. Discuss how you think children learn mathematics? Do you have any examples?

My teacher said I need 10 more examples any need new ideas


What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
Children learn mathematics as they play and explore the world around them (Neal, 2007a, p.24). Building blocks, sandpits, puzzles and many everyday materials such as: pegs, bottle tops, straws and calendars provide opportunities for the development of mathematical ideas such as: numbers, shapes, measuring and patterns (Neal, 2007b, p.2-3).

The interaction between teachers and children is crucial to developing mathematical ideas and important skills needed in mathematics, such as problem solving. While children are playing, teachers can use questioning to encourage mathematical thinking and language. For example, questions such as:
Why do you think the truck is heavier than the ball?
;Let’s work out which block pile has more blocks.
;What comes next in your pattern?
How do we know eight is bigger than three?
