About this Activity

Engaging in number and math activities can benefit individuals with dementia.

These activities provide mental stimulation and help maintain cognitive functions such as memory, reasoning, and problem-solving.

Additionally, math activities often involve social interaction, whether in groups or with family, contributing to emotional well-being. The focus required for even simple math tasks can improve attention span and concentration, helping to preserve these skills over time.

Completing math-related tasks also provides a sense of accomplishment, enhancing self-esteem and overall happiness. Incorporating number and math activities into the daily lives of those with dementia can help improve their quality of life by keeping their minds active and engaged.

Be mindful to present activities within the person's cognitive ability level.
