"Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning....They have to play with what they know to be true in order to find out more, and then they can use what they
learn in new forms of play."

This is a good article on math and children. As with everything, I like to take the fun approach to math, and for toddlers and preschoolers, that means math in the environment through blocks, cooking, play dough, and other fun things that all parents do such as cutting their sandwiches into shapes and giving them puzzles.
