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 every Sunday.  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:  • rattles • 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
MORE PRO-ACTIVE Parent-Supervised MATH/LOGIC Activities, 4-year-olds  —  MAKE BOOKS!
• “NUMBERS” book
…. let Preschooler cut out magazine pictures and glue 1 object on the page with a “1” at the top, 2 objects on the page with a “2,” etc.  Use “safety/primary” scissors.
…. introduce a number sequentially each week, repeating 1 – 6 over and over.  Each page of “1” objects will have different pictures.
•  “ALPHABET” or “LETTERS” book
…. encourage him to draw letters of the alphabet and objects which start with the same letter (a = apple, b = balloon).  
…. use lower case letters (because we use lower case letters more frequently, and 2/3 of the printed upper case [capital] letters have a different shape than the lower case letters).
…. introduce a new letter each week and add it to a continuing book.  
…. reminder to use “fat” primary pencils/crayons because they’re easier for fine motor coordination.It’s well worth the investment.
Next week – “Math/Logic, Pt. 10”
