Facilitating natural numeracy may seem more daunting than facilitating natural literacy because we often don’t think of the many ways that numeracy is part of our everyday lives. Literacy seems so straightforward and commonplace, but numeracy may seem more hidden. When we start to consider that mathematical concepts are embedded in so much of what we do, we can begin to integrate our children into these actions. Baking, for example, requires many mathematical concepts, from measuring to fractions to time, and is often something kids enjoy doing alongside others. Grocery shopping is a great opportunity for children to see list making, price setting, currency, and change.
