Pasadena center at forefront of early math programs for young children
The Children’s Center at CalTech, designed for children ranging in age from 6 months to 5 years old, places a significant focus on math and science. Children who enter kindergarten with a strong grasp of basic math concepts – like where a number might fall on a number line – were more likely to be succeeding in math and reading by fifth grade, according to research by economist Greg Duncan.
