Math Learning Programs Rochester - How To Help Your Child Use Abstract Thinking in Math

Many people define appropriate experiences for children as "concrete and hands-on" and contrast them with abstract paper-and-pencil activities. But it's important to remember that all significant learning involves abstract thinking. We want children to be able to make generalizations from concrete experiences. For example, in order to be able to identify the color red, children have to abstract the idea from valentines, stop signs, and many other objects. The concept of something like kindness involves an even more abstract understanding.
