Foreword Maths

"Advanced Kids Series" is based on the specifications of the latest pre-primary
level ECD curriculum and also on Montessori principle in Nepali context. It
supports the concrete number concepts and computation skills. The lessons -
exercises focus on understanding, counting and comparing numbers, shapes
and sizes especially recognizing number 0 to 9.
The computation processes are presented in a step-by-step manner to help
your child understand exactly what is to be done.
The exercises / activities are carefully graded, varied and child centred with
coverage for children with different learning abilities.

Suggestions for applying Advanced Kids Series
• First of all, make the child's learning environment secure and pleasant.
• Do your best to transmit the message that learning is challenging and difficult

yet enjoyable and rewarding, so genuine specific praise, temptation and
constructive warning will help to build child's confidence.
• The clear and simple directions on every activity / exercise page will
enable children to proceed independently but your undivided attention is
necessary.
• Before starting the page, please give very clear child-friendly instructions.
Read and spell out the title of the page especially for those who can learn
more clearly by listening (auditory learner). Show an example of all the
concepts to those who can learn more clearly by looking at things (visual
learner). Give an opportunity to touch, feel and play with concrete objects
or materials to those who can learn fast through the medium of practical
exercises by exploring the environment (kinesthetic learner).
• Explain the skill and show the steps of activity to the child as an example.
• Make the child understand and realise with concrete objects then only let
her/him practice the exercises / activities.
• Have the child practice, repeat, revise the same exercises many times for
their long-term memory.
• Support the child's efforts to move beyond what s/he has already
accomplished.
• There will be days when your child may not feel like working. This is typical,
so accept it.

Remember to be patient, encouraging and positive with your child,
even when minor mistakes are made.
