Speak numbers with children helps them to better understand mathematics

|

(www.neomundo.com.ar) the learning of the boys begins before you think that parents influence very early. While MOM and dad engaged to talk about numbers achieved the boys to learn mathematical concepts more easily when they start school, concluded a new investigation.

“When boys start preschool, there significant individual differences in his knowledge of mathematics,” said Susan Levine, of the University of Chicago (United States).

Words to teach

Authors, which published its findings in the journal Developmental Psychology, claimed that his research is the first to register the interactions between parents and children at home and analyze the relationship between how much parents talk about numbers and like this affects the future performance of the boys.

Levine worked with 44 boys and their parents. He visited five times each family’s House and filmed their interaction for an hour and a half. These records were conducted at intervals of four months, when the children were aged between 14 and 30 months of age.

To observe filming, the authors noted a very large difference in the use of words related to the numbers in daily activities, and that some parents used four in the entire duration of the study and others spoke more than 250.

Then each boy carried out a series of activities where should relate numbers heard with a set of squares drawn on a paper. For example, if heard the number five had to mention the Group of five figures. And it turned out that children listened to more numbers from the mouth of his parents obtained best results in these exercises.

Levine said that the use of numbers is important even if it seems that the child did not understand the meaning, as this gives them an advantage in understanding of how the words relate to a quantity. “Promote to parents talk of numbers with their children and give them effective tools to do so can impact positively on the school performance of boys”, concluded.

In Ethiopia, for example, slightly less than 70 percent of women indicates that the nearest clinic is too far, while in Sierra Leone, Uganda and Niger, more than half of the total number of women surveyed indicated that the health center is too distant to reach him.

The index was published with a view to a meeting of high-ranking United Nations to be held on 19 and 20 September in New York to outline a comprehensive plan of action against chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and disorders lung.

Save the Children urged leaders to focus their efforts on overcoming the shortage of more than 3.5 million doctors, nurses, midwives and health workers community.

“Without them no vaccine can be administered, no drug can be prescribed and no woman can receive care experienced during his birth.” “Diseases like pneumonia and diarrhoea, which are easily treatable, become lethal”, noted the entity.

Laboratory studies had already ensured that the strain that causes cholera in Haiti was identical to one found at Nepal.

Various social organizations have announced the creation of a “collective of compensation for the victims of cholera”, which aims to organize a set of activities to promote the withdrawal of Minustah, according to a communiqué.

Batay Ouvriye (fight Obrera) Organization and the people’s democratic movement (MODEP), comprising the group, denounced “criminal acts” of Minustah, including the rape of the young of Port-Salut.
