1, 2, 3... what comes next?
Preschoolers learn that numbers always come in the same order, and that each number is one more than the one before. They count forward to 10 and then 20, find what comes next, and put number cards in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. They begin to fill in a missing number in a short line and notice simple patterns. The click comes when a child sees a gap, like 4, ___, 6, and shouts "Five!" without counting from one.
Little learners need to see, say and move with numbers. These are our favorites.
Hand out number cards 1 to 10 and have kids lay them in a row on the floor. Then they hop along and count out loud. Laying the cards themselves helps kids see that each number has its own spot.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Why it works: pulling an answer out of memory makes it stick far better than rereading it, one of the strongest findings in learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Why it works: spreading practice out over days is one of the two most effective study methods in a major research review (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Many 3-year-olds count to 10, and many 4-year-olds count to 20 by the end of preschool. Counting objects correctly matters just as much as saying the numbers.
Use number cards, a number line on the floor and lots of counting out loud. Ask what comes next or what comes before during everyday counting.
Rote counting is saying numbers in order, like a song. Counting with meaning is touching each object once and knowing the last number tells how many. Preschoolers need both.
Count stairs, number sticky notes for your child to put in order, or play simple board games. A few minutes a day makes a big difference.
