Math and the Brain
Concrete- using actual objects to touch, move and configure
Symbolic- correlating a quantity with an actual symbol
Abstract- using common algorithms to solve mathematical problems

Why stay in the concrete stage of mathmatics?
Success in mathematics
Acute understanding of the basics of mathematics
Determines their long-term passion for math

What is number concept?
Ability to understand deeply what the quantities of 1-10 represent.
Internalizing the possible arrangements and combinations for each of the quantities 1-10.
Written symbols can interfere with the development of these concepts. Concrete/Symbolic

Before Numbers
Patterning awakens children to see the beauty and structure of abstract mathematical concepts. Seeing patterns-linear and geometric Making patterns with common objects and toys
Sorting & Classifying develops logical thinking and language skills. Hard verses Soft Sink or Float Shapes Sizes Design Material

Counting
Counting gives the children an opportunity to develop skill with the counting sequence. Forward, backward, & counting on using concrete
objects… in the car on a walk up/down the stairs setting the table/kitchen objects on clothing toys/ personal trinkets
All these activities nurture the brain to prepare them for gaining a strong number
concept…

Number Concept… -is developed between the ages of 3-8
-pertains to the quantities of 1-10-involves activities with concrete objects not
computer or TV programs
Activities to discover and internalize possible arrangements and combinations for each number.
o Toothpick pictureso Dry beans/candy
o Blockso Shell pictures
o Whale game/snack timeo Pattern block animals

Goals with 1-10
Goal #1 is to identify “3” in many possible combinations immediately.
:. … .:
Goal #2 is to recognize combinations that make up that number.
. + : = :.
Goal #3 is to know what amount is missing from a particular number.

Mastery of Basic Math Concepts…
gives a child mastery over the foundational principles of math,
which breeds in a child a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of success,
and then finally, gives a child a love and a passion for mathematics.
