In this episode of Blooming Curious, we dive into the critical topic of building children’s confidence in mathematics to combat math anxiety. Following up on last week’s discussion with Dr. Aditya Nagrath, who highlighted that many children entering kindergarten are already behind in math skills, we explore practical strategies that parents and educators can use to establish a solid mathematical foundation in young children. From incorporating positional language into everyday conversations to engaging children in counting activities and hands-on math experiences, we discuss various methods to make math a natural and enjoyable part of a child’s daily life. The episode underscores the importance of early math education in ensuring long-term academic success and reducing widespread math anxiety. Tune in to discover how everyday actions and simple games can make a significant difference in teaching children numbers and building their confidence.
