Describing math in words

Measurement applies some of the earliest mathematics that children learn, and there are many informal and formal opportunities to support this development. In play, measurement is already very meaningful, particularly around fairness. “He got more than me! She got the bigger dinosaur so I should get two little dinosaurs! He had it for a longer time so it’s my turn again!” These assertions all show a strong awareness of measurement.

Social-Emotional
Social and emotional development encompasses young children’s evolving capacity to form close and positive adult and peer relationships; to actively explore and act on the environment in the process of learning about the world around them; and to experience, regulate, and express a full range of positive and negative emotions in socially and culturally appropriate ways. These skills, developed in early childhood, are essential for lifelong learning and success.
