It is so interesting how some believe just singing will increase their learning of math concepts of patterns or other concepts. However, putting music to pretty much everything really engages them to want learn more. I see that in our centers them humming to different tunes and later they are saying different words to the song! Quite silly! I love how we can extend math concepts into literacy and movement activities!

I agree that music can be a most powerful tool and to engaging children to math concepts. One of the first things I remember as a new teacher was that yes, children don’t mind if you are not a good singer and that made it easier to include music in my classroom.

Children can learn through environment and how the classroom is set. up it should be a math area labeled and with pictures to show the child wear a math objects can be placed

In reply to Nanette Nesbitt. Ha ha! Yes! The Preamble! How much history has been learned from the music of Hamilton? I feel like music in education is overlooked! It's a powerful tool!

Yes music holds a powerful place in our brain. Children love singing and dancing and they also learn through these areas. I’m an adult but I still can remember learning how to count by 3s from “School House Rock.” And I learned The Preamble as well.

Music holds a powerful place in our brain—and singing utilizes the brain’s language and music areas. Is a good tool When children are actively listening to music and help us to multiple areas in their brains are lighting up. We can Combining music with movement is a powerful tool that we can use daily to reinforce math concepts. The more senses we involve, the more learning takes place
