Within these categories, here are some specific signs that your child may be having difficulty.</p> | | <h2>Key points</h2><ul><li>Math skills are divided into five different areas: number sense and numeration; measurement; geometry and spatial sense; patterning and algebra; data management and probability.</li><li>There are specific signs in each of the categories to look for that indicate your child may be having difficulty.</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> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <img alt="" src="https://assets.aboutkidshealth.ca/AKHAssets/mathematics_when_to_worry.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /> | https://assets.aboutkidshealth.ca/AKHAssets/mathematics_when_to_worry.jpg | | | | | | | Mathematics: When to worry | | False | | | | | | | | |
