Are the abilities that students develop associated with mathematical concepts, logical reasoning, understanding and exploration of the world through proportions. Lets prepare children for a life in which working with numbers is a necessity.

We must find a way for children to develop an interest in mathematics. Mathematics is used in everyday life. We can use math anywhere. Let’s help children develop their knowledge of mathematics.

Prepare activities involving numbers.

Even being in the supermarket can be more fun than usual.

Example: ask your child to put several apples in the basket, ask him to count the apples to motivate the child, do it together with him. These activities can help develop your child’s confidence with numbers and strengthen their math skills.

Behavior management plan and strategies

Problem resolution: to teach problem solving, talking about it and setting a good example is a good start, talk about how every action has good and bad consequences, do not associate consequence with being strictly negative, but also explain that everyone will not always have the best days so that they can show empathy.

Setting limits: to set limits you need to include the kids in this process about creating rules or guidelines that need to be followed, the more they get involved the more they will have to accept that because they are the ones who came up with them and agreed to them, you are there to remind but also to correct any confusion or situation not strictly covered by the rules.

Wait time: learning to be patient is never easy, but a good way to make children understand this is to make sure you have a turn-taking strategy, a very common one is to limit the number of children in each area of the center.

Emotional literacy and friendships: have the corner of the library with books on emotions and how to make friends and include them in circle time by having a child choose a book per day to understand the importance of emotions and build relationships with others.

Regulation: to self-regulate or regulate as a teacher, you must be attentive to all children and situations, know the habits and when to intervene and when the child needs to learn to solve the problem by himself.

Calm and relaxation: this can be as easy as setting up a special place in the room for the child to think or read or move around to allow the child to decompress their feelings and then be able to do so without having to go to a special place. Instead, being able to deal with emotions at the time of the incident.
