Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Education / Pedagogy / Employment contract | | Dutch term or phrase: ontluikende rekenontwikkeling | I am currently working on a short translation for a Dutch nursery school, and am struggling to find an appropriate English translation for the term "ontluikende rekenontwikkeling" ("arithmetic development"?)
There is very little context unfortunately:
"Onder andere ordenen en classificeren volgens kleur, vorm, eigenschap, grootte, tellen, meten/ervaren van lengte, oppervlakte, inhoud en gewicht, oriëntatie op ruimte en tijd."
All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded within 72 hours.
Many thanks,
Anne |

| | emerging maths skills | Explanation:
This comes into the same sort of category as emerging reading skills
Emerging Math Skills
Children work on mathematics in a variety of informal ways with manipulatives such as blocks and linking objects. Software can also be used to practice these skills if desired.
* Patterning: Seeing how objects and numbers relate builds a concrete understanding of math. Patterning or drawing software can provide children with practice in seeing relationships and predicting what comes next in a series. Many of these programs can be used in conjunction with building blocks, patterns in music, or other curricular activities.
* Classification: Learning to identify and sort objects by their attributes is basic to both science and math. Classification software encourages children to group objects by attributes such as size, color, and shape, as well as to create groupings of their own objects.
* Seriation: During the preschool years, children learn to order an array of objects by size. Objects can be manipulated on the screen in much the same way that physical objects can be ordered in the classroom.
* Numerical Relationships: Software programs can help children work with the concepts of “more than,” “less than,” and “the same as” and learn this necessary skill for understanding mathematics.
