Within these categories, there are some specific signs that your child may be having difficulty. </p> | | <h2>Key points</h2>
<ul><li>Math skills are divided into five categories: number sense and numeration; measurement; geometry and spatial sense; patterning and algebra; data management and probability.</li>
<li>Within each category there are specific signs that your child may be having difficulty in that area.</li></ul> | <h2>Number sense and numeration</h2>
<ul>
<li>Has trouble recognizing numbers. </li>
<li>Has trouble learning number names. </li>
<li>Has counting difficulties: does not realize numbers go in order; when counting, does not realize last number counted is the total; only counts objects one way. </li>
<li>Does not understand one-to-one correspondence by Grade one. </li>
<li>Unable to add and subtract with counters in Grade one. </li>
<li>Does not realize that adding and subtraction are reciprocal operations by the end of Grade one. </li>
<li>Number facts are slow to develop: child always uses fingers or counters to find the answer. </li>
<li>Has trouble learning and remembering computational procedures. </li></ul>
<h2>Measurement</h2>
<ul>
<li>Cannot learn to tell time or use money. </li>
<li>Has trouble reading or answering questions about a simple graph. </li></ul>
<h2>Geometry and spatial sense</h2>
<ul>
<li>Has trouble learning names of shapes such as circle, square, rectangle, diamond, and oval. </li>
<li>Does not know the meaning of terms such as more, less, half, part, or spatial terms like behind, over, beside. </li></ul>
<h2>Patterning and algebra</h2>
<ul>
<li>Has trouble recognizing and extending recurrent patterns. </li>
<li>Cannot put objects in order. </li>
<li>Has trouble sorting by colour, shape, size, or texture. </li></ul>
<h2>Data management and probability</h2>
<ul>
<li>Has trouble representing data on a graph. </li>
<li>Is not aware of the frequency of occurrence of different events. </li>
<li>Has trouble determining what operation to use to solve math word problems. </li></ul> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | https://assets.aboutkidshealth.ca/AKHAssets/when_to_worry_about_mathematics_premature_babies.jpg | | | | | | | When to worry about mathematics | | False | | | | | | |
