The brain has two hemispheres: the left and the right. The left, for most, is especially active between the ages of 3 and 6 years. The right hemisphere is constantly engaged throughout early and middle childhood, growing more active as time passes. One side of the brain, known as the dominant cerebral hemisphere, is stronger in each person. This can be the left or the right. Most people have a dominant cerebral hemisphere that is opposite of their dominant hand due to how …show more content…
How can adults promote development of mathematical reasoning? Skills in mathematical reasoning are built upon knowledge picked up by students in a non-academic setting. Children of 14-16 months are usually capable of relating small number values to each other. Being able to do so demonstrates having a fairly solid grasp of ordinary, number relationships. Children usually learn how to count to 10 and work vaguely with the digits by the age of 4. By this time, too, students should be able to grasp the concept of cardinality which explains that the final value in a sequence of numbers is the sum of all the numbers listed prior. Children are known to learn best when asked to work with numbers in informal ways. Incorporating math into activities without explicitly calling them math activities may encourage mathematical growth. This is assuming that the activity includes counting, comparisons of quantities, and discussions surrounding numerical concepts. Board games can be an incredibly useful tool in teaching Mathematica principles to students in early childhood
