Math concepts/vocabulary to use with your child

This week and over the next several weeks we will continue to use vocabulary that you can use at home with your child while in the car, store or during dinner.

How much more is 14 than 7?  How much more is 9 than 5?


How much change would I get back if I bought something for 8 cents and I gave you a dime?


What is the difference between 11 and 5?


Other activities you can do with your child:

Count forward starting at 30.
Count backward starting 23.
Count by 10's and start at 34.
Count backward by 10's starting at 130.

What's one more than 28?
What's one less than 49?

How many groups of 10's are in 68?
How many ones are in 68?

Use numbers that are at your child's level.  For example, begin with numbers less than 20 and go beyond if your child has an easy time.  This is excellent mental math work and will help your child gain a good 'sense of number'.
