Preschool Cognition: Supporting Early Math
Hear from experts about early math development. Find out how to integrate early geometry concepts into everyday teaching practices to help very young children begin to develop their math skills.
Cognition
Cognition is one of the five central domains of the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF). Resources here address the skills children use to understand and organize their world: reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and thinking skills. For preschoolers, cognition expands to include mathematical development and scientific reasoning.
Other ELOF domains include Approaches to Learning; Social and Emotional Development; Language and Literacy; and Perceptual, Motor, and Physical Development.
