This product landed in our home at the perfect time. Our 7 year old just started his times tables in math class. We’ve already been talking about the wonderful world of multiplication at the dinner table, but now we have visual aids as we eat. These plates are cute and support extra learning outside of the classroom.
These plates are nice quality. They wash well (dishwasher safe), stack well, and they are fun for the kids. We’ve been enjoying the 9 in. plates. They are the perfect size for a kid sized portion of food. It’s fun for them to eat their dinner and find what character’s face is under their food. I must add that our two year old can have these plates too. They survive tumbles off the table.
Here are the kids at breakfast. Cinnamon toast can get boring, but it’s got some more appeal when there is the element of surprise added. The kids like to see what plate they got and how many pieces their toast is in. I try to make breakfast “fun” in these little ways. Believe you me, we are not morning people, but we can do this much to brighten our weekday morning.
Here are 5 ways the multiples dinnerware will boost your child’s math skills:
1. Social Learning
The Multiples are based around the Social Learning Theory, which states that people learn in a social context, both through observation and direct instruction.
2. Encouragement
Children learn from their environment and seek acceptance from society by learning through influential models. The Multiples allows you to engage your child both by showing them how to use the plates, but also in giving them rewards to encourage them as they learn.
3. The Comforts of Home
The home has a large impact on a child’s early development, social behavior, and habits, which in turn affects a child’s future success in education. By learning to work through problems in a safe place such as the home, children will be better prepared to deal with learning throughout the entirety of their lives.
4. Early Introduction
According to “Trends in International Maths and Study”, published in 2012, “fourth grade students had high mathematics achievement if their parents reported that they often engaged in early numeracy activities with their children, that their children attended preschool, and that they started school able to do early numeracy tasks.
5. Easy to Implement
The Multiples are both learning tools and functional plates, bowls, and cups, meaning you as a parent can make a difference in your child’s education regardless of budget or time restraints.
We recommend starting with our first of three curriculum sets. As your child masters their times tables, move up to the next level! Click below to view and purchase each set:
