Mathematics is an abstract knowledge. It is easy for mothers to teach their babies to count, but it is a big problem for them to really understand the relationship between number and quantity, know mathematics, use mathematics well and like mathematics. Sun Ning, an early education expert at Sunshine Parenting Early Education Center, said that life is full of mathematics. Instead of using rigid teaching materials and teaching AIDS, it is better to play a few simple parent-child games with your baby and easily lead your baby into the magical world of mathematics.

Park Game: Assign Leaves to Know Numbers

Game: Take the baby to the park to collect some favorite leaves, and then the mother writes down the number 1 to 10 on the ground, so that the baby can put the picked leaves into/according to the rule of 1 and 10.
