Ages 4-7 Math Skills Checklist
1.Days of the Week:
Learning about the days of the week helps children understand the concept of time and sequencing. They learn the names of the days and their order, which is important for organizing daily activities and understanding schedules.
2.Time of Day:
Understanding time of day helps children develop a sense of routine and organization. They learn about morning, afternoon, evening, and night, which helps them structure their activities and understand the concept of time passing.
3.Sizes:
Learning about sizes helps children develop spatial awareness and comparison skills. They learn to identify and compare objects based on their size, such as big and small, tall and short, long and short. This understanding lays the foundation for measurement concepts.
4. Symmetrical:
Symmetry refers to the balance and reflection of shapes and objects. Learning about symmetry helps children develop visual perception and problem-solving skills. They learn to identify and create symmetrical patterns, which promotes spatial awareness and critical thinking.
5. 2D Shapes:
Learning about 2D shapes helps children recognize and classify different shapes in their environment. They learn to identify shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles. This knowledge is essential for geometry and spatial reasoning.
6. 3D Shapes:
Understanding 3D shapes helps children develop spatial awareness and visualization skills. They learn to recognize and name shapes such as cubes, spheres, cylinders, and pyramids. This knowledge is important for understanding objects in the real world.
7. Less, Greater, Equal:
Learning about less than, greater than, and equal to helps children compare and order numbers. They develop number sense and learn to use symbols to represent the relationship between numbers. This understanding is foundational for mathematical operations and problem-solving.
8. Directions:
Understanding directions helps children navigate their environment and develop spatial awareness. They learn concepts such as left, right, up, and down, which are crucial for following instructions, reading maps, and developing problem-solving skills.
9. Numbers 1-20:
Learning numbers 1-20 is a fundamental skill in mathematics. Children learn to recognize, count, and order numbers. This knowledge serves as a basis for addition, subtraction, and more advanced mathematical concepts.
10. Seasons and Months:
Learning about seasons and months helps children understand the cyclical nature of time and the changes that occur throughout the year. They learn the names and characteristics of each season and month, which promotes calendar awareness and temporal concepts.
11. Addition:
Addition is a basic arithmetic operation that involves combining two or more quantities to find the total. Children learn to add numbers and develop strategies for solving addition problems. This skill is essential for everyday calculations and more advanced math concepts.
12. Subtraction:
Subtraction is the process of taking away one quantity from another to find the difference. Children learn to subtract numbers and develop strategies for solving subtraction problems. This skill is important for everyday calculations and lays the foundation for more advanced math concepts.
13. What time is it?
Learning to tell time helps children understand and manage their daily routines. They learn to read analog and digital clocks, understand the concept of hours and minutes, and tell time to the hour, half-hour, and eventually to the minute.
14. Counting by 2s:
Counting by 2s is a form of skip counting, where children learn to count numbers in multiples of 2. This skill helps them develop number sense, recognize patterns, and build a foundation for understanding multiplication and division.
15. Counting by 5s:
Counting by 5s is another form of skip counting, where children learn to count numbers in multiples of 5. This skill helps them develop number sense, recognize patterns, and build a foundation for understanding multiplication and division.
16. More Skip Counting:
Skip counting involves counting numbers by a specific increment other than 1. It helps children develop number sense, recognize patterns, and build a foundation for understanding multiplication and division. Skip counting can be done with various increments, such as counting by 3s, 4s, or 10s.
