When interacting with their environment, young children frequently use a variety of mathematical concepts, such as making or seeing patterns and categorizing objects. They have no idea that the foundation for their later-needed mathematics understanding and reasoning skills is provided by these experiences. There are a few justifications given in a paper written in 2001 by Douglas Clements for teaching math to preschoolers. At the University of Denver, he holds the Kennedy Endowed Chair in Early Childhood Learning and the title of Distinguished University Professor. A proactive approach toward mathematics will also be fostered by early exposure to the topic. 

-Children are naturally curious and possess skills in informal mathematics that should be developed.

-Complex and interesting learning exercises will be beneficial for their developing young brains, which are through tremendous developmental changes. 

According to a paper that was published in the Early Childhood Education Journal, parents and teachers should scaffold their open-ended questions when teaching young children math in order to help them understand the subject through engaging tasks. This entails breaking up the learning into manageable chunks and adding structure to each one. 

Young children should be exposed to mathematics on a regular basis. Additionally, we must make sure that a kid learns as it organically explores its surroundings which can add to their general understanding without becoming a burden which tends to be the situation with time.
