Prerequisite and Support Skills For Mathematical Learning

Of the many reasons that contribute to the learning difficulty the one that can be dealt with the most easily and with little special training is pre-requisite and support skills.

Logical deduction

Ability to make generalizations and give reasons for the conclusions drawn from the given set of information.

Pattern recognition and extention

Ability to identify the pattern in a given sequence or collection and extend the sequence or collection by finding the next number or object.

Visual clustering

Ability to identify the number of objects in a collection by visually approximating it.

Estimation

Ability to see the range of the possible answer.

Spatial orientation/space organization

Ability to relate position of objects, numbers, letters in reference to other objects, numbers and letters.

Sequential directions

Ability to follow multi-step directions.

Ordering and sequencing

Ability to arrang a collection of objects according to the given attribute or criteria.

Matching and one to one correspondence

Ability to show the matching/relationships between two collections.

Classification/class inclusion

Classification of information and objects.

Key Point: When a parent asks you, " What can I do to help my child learn mathematics, especially if I have limited math skills?" Tell them to only help with math only if you feel comfortable.

Learning problems in math have a long list of problems. When a child is learning math concepts four vital components are involved simultaneosly: cognitive development, learning style, preparation in pre-requisite and support skills, and emotional security.
