Introduction
Early childhood education and care play the vital role in the development of children. The
primary purpose of the paper is to understand the various process and activities that are essential
for providing mathematics teaching to the children of 5 years and below of age. The paper will
also provide the numeracy learning plan for the children to develop their knowledge in term of
mathematics.
Part A
Education in the early childhood is highly effective within the children to build their knowledge
and their activity in the field. The reading from chapter 2 provides the view on the way to
understand the number as well as the counting process. The very first step in the mathematical
learning is to understand the numbers along with the counting process. It is one of the most
effective practices for the children in their early days (Aizikovitsh-Udi, & Cheng, 2015). Being a
teacher the most crucial activity is to make the education especially the mathematics education
suitable and attractive for the children of five years is quite challenging. Making the children
aware of the numbers is a tough job but this can be efficiently done with the help of game and
other activities. Further, in the process of child education, chapter 4 provides the valuable
knowledge regarding the number and even for using the number (Tucker, 2014). It helps to make
the children aware of the number and even make it accessible for the children. Before providing
education to the children it is essential to growing their natural interest in the mathematics.
Mathematics is one of the interesting subject that could be easily learned with some techniques
and activity. Educating the children under 5 years require patient and skill of performing
numerous activity to attract the children.
The reading from MacDonald (2018) shows the chapter 6 which provides the view on educator
roles in the mathematics education. It shows that the educator has an effective role within the
process of teaching to the children because a small child is unable to learn things on their own
and for that, they required a suitable teacher. Mathematics is the subject which has the core basic
as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These four are the core principle of
mathematics and for the entire life and in every action these are highly required. Teaching this
concept to the children of 5 years or below is quite challenging (Ma, Shen, Krenn, Hu, & Yuan,
2016). This is due to the fact that children cannot learn these symbol or number or their activity
