What is the Development Tracker?

The Numeracy and Mathematical Thinking Development Tracker is a comprehensive tool designed to help parents monitor and support their child’s mathematical growth from ages 0-6. It provides age-appropriate milestones, tips, and activities to build confidence in numeracy skills.

Why is it Helpful?

  • Understand key math milestones like counting, recognizing shapes, and solving simple problems.
  • Introduce fun activities to develop early numeracy and logical thinking skills.
  • Identify potential challenges in mathematical learning early.
  • Support your child’s journey toward mathematical confidence and problem-solving abilities.

Age-Wise Development Tracker

12 Months

Milestones: Explores basic concepts like size, shape, and quantity through play. Recognizes patterns in familiar objects or activities.

Tips: Offer stacking toys and nesting cups to introduce size and spatial relationships.

18 Months

Milestones: Begins to sort objects by size, color, or shape. Shows interest in counting small quantities (e.g., two blocks).

Tips: Play sorting games and count aloud during daily activities to reinforce numeracy.

2 Years

Milestones: Can count to three, recognizes basic shapes, and understands simple comparisons like "big" and "small."

Tips: Use books, songs, and games to encourage counting and shape recognition.

3-4 Years

Milestones: Counts to ten, identifies more shapes, and begins to solve simple puzzles. Understands concepts like "more" or "less."

Tips: Introduce board games that involve counting and practice identifying shapes during everyday activities.

5-6 Years

Milestones: Can count beyond twenty, perform simple addition and subtraction, and recognize patterns. Understands basic time concepts (e.g., yesterday, today).

Tips: Encourage your child to count objects during chores and introduce simple addition/subtraction games.
