The development of logical-mathematical thinking is of great importance in the smallest since it depends on thinking numerically, reasoning logically and interpreting reality. Without it we could not face our day as it is continuously present in different situations. For that reason I am going to show you several activities on how to teach mathematics in the 2nd cycle of Early Childhood Education.

The beginning of this logical-mathematical thought for the youngest is born of relating objects and their properties. Mainly, this is achieved with game situations that I explain later.

Developing mathematical intelligence is a key element for all that it contributes to children in their development. It helps them understand concepts, establish logical relationships and use natural calculations, quantifications and hypotheses.

We can all develop that capacity since we are small, but its proper development will depend on the stimuli that are received.

In order for our students to achieve all this, we propose logical-mathematical exercises in our Schools and we also encourage them to do exercises with them at home as well. In this way, the daily training of our children is ensured so that they achieve the achievements and benefits with the mathematical development.


<center>I invite you to put these exercises into practice at home and here I propose some activities that you can do daily.</center>

# 1. SUBITIZATION:


To work the subitization, which is the amount of objects that we can identify in a small moment, I propose a simple activity:

Teach them some pictures of the family, animals and even physical objects.
Hide them after a few seconds.
Then ask them how many they have seen.
Finally, you premiás them in case they have been successful with a positive reinforcement. If they fail, they will also be positively reinforced.

# 2. SEARCH FOR EQUIVALENT SETS:

For the search of equivalent sets, I propose to carry out the following activity:

You put a certain amount of cereals on a plate.
The child is told to put the same amount in a different dish.
As compensation, children can eat cereals once they have finished the activity.

# 3. ROPE LEVEL IN THE COUNT:

Our children are in this phase, which means that, when counting, they need to do it without being interrupted or starting from a specific number.

The counting can be done daily by counting steps, people or even school friends, in this way we will help you settle it.

In addition, it is very important to also count from back to front, so that they understand it bi-directionally.

# 4. THE ORDER OF NEIGHBOR PATTERNS:

An example for you to understand what the order of neighboring patterns consists of: having 5, the neighbors of 5 are 6 and 4. This procedure can be applied to our house, that is, starting from our house, the child has to identify the number of your neighbors, the one before our house and the one after our house.

<center>***With all the above we will help our children to take pleasure and pleasure in mathematics. Learning quickly and fun. Improving the capacity of mental calculation, estimation and its ability to solve problems.***</center>

<center>***I hope you put these exercises into practice as I guarantee that they can be of great help, they can do it both in their classroom and at home with their children.***</center>

<center>***Greetings and I hope you in my next post!***</center>
