Camera view of Dr. Kathy Mann Koepke. Banner text: Kathy Mann Koepke, Ph.D. Child Development and Behavior Branch	Dr. Kathy Mann Koepke: If you’re a parent, and you want your children to be lifelonglearners, helping them to develop math skills is extremely important.
GRAPHICS SLIDE: Animation of a young woman walking through the produce section of the grocery store with her little boy sitting in a shopping cart. …	Dr. Mann Koepke: When you go to the grocery store, you can use this time to build math and vocabulary. You can talk about numbers and shapes by counting and pointing things out in your environment.
GRAPHICS SLIDE CONTINUED: A chalkboard drops down in the upper left corner of the screen and displays the words “more,” “smaller,” “longer,” and “heavier” one at a time. …	Dr. Mann Koepke: It’s helpful to use comparative words like “more,” “smaller,” “longer,” and “heavier” when you’re talking about numbered objects.
GRAPHICS SLIDE CONTINUED: The chalkboard disappears. Three red apples appear in the middle of the screen, next to the young woman and her son. …	Dr. Mann Koepke: For example: “Let’s buy three red apples.”
GRAPHICS SLIDE CONTINUED: A purple eggplant appears in the middle of the screen, next to the three red apples. …	Dr. Mann Koepke: “We can share one of those oblong eggplants because it’s bigger than the apples.”
GRAPHICS SLIDE CONTINUED: The apples and eggplant drop into the woman’s shopping cart, and a big watermelon appears in the middle of the screen. Then the watermelon shrinks in size and drops into the shopping cart.	Dr. Mann Koepke: “That big watermelon is too heavy for me to lift! Let’s find a smaller one.”
GRAPHICS SLIDE: Animation of the woman and her son at the checkout counter with an empty shopping cart. A cashier stands behind the register, ringing up the items on the counter.	Dr. Mann Koepke: By taking advantage of these opportunities, you immerse your child in math, language, and reasoning-rich environments.
