Summary

Young children are naturally drawn to harmony, balance and order. They are naturally drawn to math, the math that goes beyond counting and simple arithmetic. Math is beautiful and fun and it all starts early on with a few simple games.

This is what this course is about - quick, simple and fun games that parents can play with kids to explore math.

Every weekday for the next 4 weeks you will see

• a new math activity to try with your child that takes virtually no time to prepare
• a math concept behind it
• how to adapt it for children of different ages, from infants to elementary school students
• variations to keep it interesting for children with various learning styles - and for parents!

Once a week you will have an opportunity to join us and other parents in live webinars to learn more about teaching math to your child naturally, and to share your stories.

You can also share your ideas, photos, and stories by e-mailing the group, uploading picture to Flickr, or joining the Moebius Noodles Facebook group.
