We are trying to introduce them to math in a way that makes it fun - trying to instill a love of mathematics. We let them watch programs on the "noggin" network... now my 30 month-old counts up to 4 and can do some basic math skills that they teach in a "fun" environment.

My daughter is having a hard time with math and it seems the older she gets the harder it is for me to help her with her math homework. Thank you for sharing this!

It places Bart into a remedial class: Teacher: Okay. Now, everyone take out your safety pencil and a circle of paper. This week, I hope we can finish our work on the letter "A". Bart: Let me get this straight. We're behind the rest of our class and we're going to catch up to them by going slower than they are? [making "crazy" gesture] Cuckoo. Kids: [imitating him] Cuckoo. Cuckoo. Cuckoo. Cuckoo. My point being that this book is a step in the right direction, but more and quicker steps are needed. Wish us luck, Antonio. I am leading a group of people working on an Early Algebra book for parents of children ages birth to seven.
