Worried about your child's vocabulary? It is time to engage with them in math activities at home. Researchers have found that pre-school children who engage in math activities with their parents not only improve their math skills but also enhance their general vocabulary in the meanwhile. "Exposure to basic numbers and math concepts at home were predictive, even more so than storybook reading or other literacy-rich interactions, of improving pre-school children's general vocabulary," said the lead author of the study Amy Napoli, a doctoral student at Purdue University in the US. The study evaluated 116 pre-school children between three- and five-year- olds.
