Math is something that is needed in daily life. We start at the preschool level so children will be prepared for kindergarten and math skills are built upon and increased every year after that. In high school and post high school, math that is learned is usually chosen according to the profession the individual wants to pursue.

Try to do problems (of the agenda) in your free time. If you want to, you can set up a number of problems, and try to finish them as quickly as possible. Then try improving on that time... The best way to study math is simple repetition -- keep practicing and repeating the facts over and over until you get them right! A study deck is great for learning math facts -- see the related question to learn how to make one.

Children benefit from preschool because they learn pre-math and pre-literacy skills, as well as social and behavioral skills that prepare them to succeed in kindergarten.
Preschool teaches pre-math and pre-literacy skills that are important for kidergarten. It also teaches them appropriate behavoir and social skills that are important when they start kindergarten.
