Play and Grow Smart-er Tips
Nancy Pyne-Hapke, author of “Play and Grow Smart, A Guide Supporting Brain Development, Birth through Five,” has been giving tips to aid your child’s optimum skill development through proactive neuroscience-based activities weekly on Jen’s List since 2010. These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books.
“MATH/LOGIC” developmental skill definition: recognizing and understanding cause-and-effect relationships, forming and understanding concepts, matching, classifying, categorizing, reasoning, problem-solving, strategizing, organizing ideas.
THE CRITICAL WINDOW during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for Math/Logic development is 1 – 4 years old. The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing Math/Logic experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run.
A FEW DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING TOOLS (toys and other objects) for Math/Logic development: water, sand, objects that can be taken apart and put back together, toys involving problem-solving, games, clay, objects involving counting forward and backward, toys with various shapes/colors/sizes, blocks, puzzles, objects that can be matched/classified/categorized, objects that nest.
Some MATH/LOGIC tidbits:
* PLAY music.
.. Research shows there seems to be a connection
between the neurological pathways activated by
complex musical sounds and the brain area used
to understand spatial concepts in math.
– Supportive of healthy math/logic brain
development: melodic tunes including
classical (instrumental and voice),
country/western, rock, R&B, slow
jazz, 30s/40s/50s music, etc.
– Not so supportive of healthy math/logic
brain development: heavy metal, rap,
techno, grunge, punk, ska, etc.
.. Through children’s exposure to complex musical
sounds, improvement has been seen in
– using mazes,
– drawing shapes,
– copying patterns.
* WHEN Toddler (<3) can count up to 10 or more,
he’s likely
.. “counting by rote.”
.. memorized the counting sequence (forward, not
backward).
.. not yet acquired the “1-to-1” correspondence that
teaches what each number stands for.
* AT ABOUT 3 years, Preschooler is just learning the
concept of “1” and “2.”
