Neileigh Chastain's Blog for Early Childhood Education

Welcome to Neileigh Chastain's Blog for Early Childhood Education

As a teacher of an early childhood class, age 4, I would like to get the opinions of other professionals in education.  I would like to start with a discussion about early math.

I know that everyone has had difficulties teaching some things to certain students.  It seems like we try everything that we can think of to help these students succeed and it still does not seem to help the students.  The thing is that we might be too close to the situation.  It helps to get other points of view.  There is a chance that someone else could see something that will help these students that you did not see.  

I need different strategies for teaching beginners math, specifically joining sets or adding.  If there is a strategy that could help me teach this I would really appreciate it.  If there are any links that could help please add the link.  Thanks for the help in my classroom!
