1, 2, 3, let's count with me!
Preschool is where number sense begins. Little ones learn to count out loud to 10 and beyond, and to touch one object for each number they say. They learn that the last number counted tells "how many." They start to recognize numerals and match them to groups of objects, and they compare groups using words like more and fewer. The click moment is when a child counts five crackers, points to the last one, and says "I have five!"
Preschoolers learn numbers through touching, singing and playing.
Give each child a paper gumball jar and a number. They put that many pom-poms or stickers in the jar, touching each one as they count. One touch, one number is the habit we want.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.
