Toddlers are capable of exploring in many more different ways than infants. Infants do lots of exploring by simply holding toys and their hands, observing and putting them in their mouths. Toddlers are able to build and compare among many other things.

Children develop math concepts and skills very early in life. Even without support, infants and toddlers use math concepts to make sense of their world. Babies can tell the difference (sorting & classifying) between familiar and unfamiliar adults. Toddlers say words in songs with familiar repetitive patterns.

For infants, classification is big. They classify people by their familiarity. They fuss when they are being held by someone who is not their usual holder. For toddlers, they do more complex math like counting and distinguishing sizes and weights.

Infants and toddlers learn math concepts in everyday life by playing and testing different objects like weight and size of blocks and toys. The difference that toddlers can express their math skills with words and infants – sounds.

Infants are not able to communicate well, so they are mainly observing daily math concepts. For example, signing "more" for food, hearing their teach saying they drank half of the bottle, etc.
Toddlers are more hands on when learning about math. They are able to communicate with their teachers and classmates. With this, they are able to build with blocks, count toys, and participate in centers or learning activities.

Infants learning math do so in a more general manner for example: conceptualizing MORE cookies v. less. Toddlers can be led through a formal activity like sorting by color or stacking to 5 etc.

I visualizing an infant who is able to sit up..I watch him tyr to put the shapes in the matching opening....he is just hitting it in..I think he is learning spatial relationships along with shapes..I see a toddler with the same kind of shape sorting toy..he is doing the same thing..trying to find the right shape for the right space..He is more able to turn it or hold it different so that it fits..His little math brain is doing the same things only he is more able to figure it out...the teacher is talking to both about shape and size and action needed..the infant doesn't understand yet but the toddler does..

Infants are able to looking, toughing to explore their math experiences.
Toddlers are also able to counting, thinking, speak out to explore their math experiences.

Michele

11/6/2018 01:27:43 pm

Infants observe what they notice is more or less and differences in shapes and sizes. Toddlers are able to communicate while observing like counting, organizing, and manipulating objects.

infants use math in a very diffrent way then toddlers by observing and everyday experience they have. and toddlers are doing that too but can interact and do more hands on thing

Marylou

11/19/2018 01:42:17 pm

Infants don't use words to communicate and toddlers are able to do more hands on learning while communicating and focus more on completing a task with a teacher's help and also they can ask questions as to an infant they observe and explore.

Infants use their hands and mouths to discover. Toddlers talk ,play, and discover

Kristiina

Infants develop and use their understanding of math within their daily routines such as interaction with care takers, feedings, observing and other such routines. Toddlers, build upon those skills through play, and can use their language development to enhance their communication of their mathematical understanding. For example, infants will gravitate toward the large number of objects while a toddler might say, "I want the one with more."

Makenzie Chamberlin

By playing and observing, while also problem solving.

brittany link

12/9/2018 03:12:32 pm

Infant math is more experiencing new things and expressing them, for example their bottle is gone yet they are still hungry so they express that they understand there is none left by becoming fussy and letting parent/caregiver know they want more. As toddler math is exploring quantity and measurements of objects and grouping them together in numbers, shapes, etc.

infants do more observing toddlers are more hands on engaged in their activities

sadia shuja

12/14/2018 06:45:10 pm

well infants can learn very simple way like more or less like one or two / while Tods can take challange more further and use materials to understand the concept of math by using objects around them like todlers can count family members in his family versus infant can cout only on his mom or dad indiviuals

Caroline

infant learn math from feeding, and toddler learn math from their activities.

Krystal Wang

12/22/2018 11:10:38 pm

toddlers will engage more in their counting - usually expressing other things they observe
Toddlers will usually observe the object's characteristics

David

12/22/2018 11:14:27 pm

A toddler's math experience is based on observations such as how heavy or how well the object fits in their hand whereas a toddler will incorporate math and counting in basic problem solving situations such as how many blocks fit in a container

Tina

12/22/2018 11:21:12 pm

Infants will observe more or less or large vs small or heavy vs light. Usually they grab the object that is easier to play with and get fussy over objects that are harder to play with - objects that are easier to play with become more familiar.
Toddlers will use math to help them in activities such as singing or playing music or hands on tasks

Infants can recognice some math concepts but they cannot name them or verbalize what is going on with them because of their cognitive delopment, instead todllers that can express with verbal and no verbal communication, what is they are discovering thruogh math.

Joanie

12/30/2018 08:20:06 pm

Infants are learning math by looking at things and gesturing. As they get older they are discovering the weight of objects by manipulating them along with other math concepts.
Toddlers are able to move around and manipulate materials and respond to adults who ask them questions. They are able to pattern and classify by actually manipulating objects.
Older toddlers can talk about what they are doing.

Luz Maria Gonzalez Duran

Infants math experience is focused more on the basic foundation of understanding and recognizing. They need to explore different items to understand them, the shape, color, size, weight, taste and feel! Once they grow to a toddler age they can start to apply their knowledge about objects. Using what they learned as infants on how to explore individual objects, they can now start to sort them in many different ways as well as add and remove items to manipulate the size of piles or stacks.

Rebecca Barrow

1/15/2019 08:40:05 pm

Infants seem are more focused on 'different' (ie more/less, light/heavy, big/little, bright/pale) while toddlers can understand and test more complicated concepts, such as numbers or certain shapes like triangles.

Chal

1/27/2019 09:02:17 pm

Infants are focused more on the physicality of objects, learning through touching and holding items. Toddlers learn through how they can manipulate the item and how it interacts with others.

Anita
