Supporting Math at Home

Did you know that you can support your child in learning math with everyday materials found in your home, such as shoelaces, canned food, cotton balls, and muffin pans?  Recent research shows that children who are ready to learn math are likely to do better in school.  Here's a listing of six math activities you can do with your child from the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
