Learning Mathematics through Everyday Play in Prekindergarten
José Lema; Stacie Summers
Dimensions of Early Childhood, v50 n2 p19-23 2022
In today's fast paced early childhood classrooms, mathematics play activities in prekindergarten settings are not consistently supported. Administrators and educators have discussed with great intensity and passion about incorporating mathematics play in prekindergarten classrooms. Both groups discussed the benefits and reservations of incorporating mathematics play activities as part of daily learning. Research has demonstrated that incorporating daily mathematics play activities in prekindergarten classrooms helps children to engage in learning, develop cognitive skills, social skills, and the emotional skills necessary for school readiness as well as performance tasks in kindergarten and beyond. This article focuses on some of the mathematical skills and concepts prekindergarten children develop through intentionally planned play activities.
