Keyboarding

Learning to use the keyboard is another step in becoming computer literate. It can take a while for children to learn the positioning of each key, but simply searching for the right key helps children with letter recognition. Eventually, they'll be able to use the keyboard commands as an alternative to using the mouse.

Mousing

Children start off using the computer mouse before they learn how to use the keys. It's best to get a child-sized mouse so that it's small enough for children to handle correctly. Within a short space of time children become adept at navigating the screen using the mouse to point and click.

Screen Navigation

Children quickly learn the basics of screen navigation. By pointing and clicking they can open programs they can use to help them learn.

Shapes

Children learn to recognize the defining properties of shapes (such as a square having four sides of equal length and a triangle having three sides) and identify them in different rotations.

Decimals, fractions and percentage

Children first understand fractions as parts of a whole or parts of a set. They begin to connect fractions to decimals, and finally to percentages.

Early number sense

Children learn to count and compare sets of objects as well as identify numerals as standing for specific quantities.

Counting

Children learn to count and compare sets of objects.

Sequencing

Children learn to identify numbers missing from sequences, such as 3, 4, __, 6.

Addition

Children learn to add, sometimes with objects, and sometimes with symbolic equations such as 4 + 3 = __.

Subtraction

Children learn to subtract quantities from each other - with objects or symbols such as 4 - 3 = __.
