Building Blocks of Math

A mind starts learning from the moment a child is born. This is why future skills and important knowledge should be passed on to a young mind as early as possible. Math is one of the most important subjects for growing minds to learn and master to do well in future schooling and in all of life. Math is seen all around us every day from the classroom, to the boardroom and on the bus home. But without the proper building blocks and starting points of a student’s mathematical journey one can become lost in an immense sea of numbers, letters and shapes without a life raft. This is why it is important to begin planting the seed of mathematics early in a child’s life, even if it is as basic as learning adding and subtracting or the nines multiplication trick from an early age will give these children the leg up that is necessary to do well in school and advance in all aspects of life.

Once these basic building blocks of mathematics are learned and mastered the student is able to move onto the more complicated concepts and ideas. Starting with basic algebra and geometry all the way to the most advanced calculus and theoretical physics the basic skills of adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying are used in every aspect of the work. If these building skills are mastered then the world is the student’s oyster and they can grow to learn any aspect of math possible, with the appropriate hard work and dedication. However, it is never to late to learn these basic building blocks because if you were to start with some of the most advanced calculus and not know how to add and subtract all would be lost.
