🧮 Counting and Cardinality
Building from Counting and Cardinality forms the start of math learning in early years. Children in preschool first recognize numbers, learn their order, and relate them to actual numbers of items. It allows children to understand that numbers can represent items they know by heart and helps prepare them for harder math concepts.
Numbers 0-10
Practicing counting numbers from 0 to 10 helps children form a solid number sense. This means being able to read numbers, count things, and comprehend the way numbers are ordered.
👋 Let's Learn Numbers!
Hello friends! We will be learning numbers today, from zero (0) to ten (10)!.
Numbers help us count things like:
🍎 apples, 🐶 puppies, 🎈balloons, and 👣 our toes!
Let's meet our number friends:
Number Names
Children in preschool learn to name numbers and connect what they hear to the corresponding numbers written down. It improves their skills in math communication and understanding numbers.
🎤 Sing it, clap it, and count on your fingers!
✋ Let’s Count Together!
Get ready! Let’s count using fingers and toys!
Count your fingers:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! ✋✋
Activity Idea:
Place small toys (like blocks or buttons) on a table.
Ask:
• “Can you give me 3 blocks?”
• “Can you count 5 teddy bears?”
🎨 Entertainment Activities
🖍️ 1. Page for Number Coloring
Print 0 to 10 then color them in!
Create matching draw-on or stick pictures for the count. (e.g., Under number 4, draw four stars.)
🧩 2. Game for Number Matching
Cut out picture cards and number cards resembling six apples, two birds.
Let kids match the count with the proper set of objects.
🧮 3. Count and Clap!
Saying a number, clap that many times.
Let's clap seven times, for instance. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7!
📌 Never forget!
- Zero is "none."
- Numbers let us know how many.
- Counting strengthens our brain!
One-to-One Correspondence
Here, you label each item with its own number name to avoid making mistakes in counting. Obtaining one-to-one correspondence is an essential skill for realizing that the last number mentioned is the amount of items.
🏁 Wrap-Up
🎉 Fantastic effort learning numbers 0 through 10!
Can you show me how many toys you have?
Can you count all your fingers and toes?
Keep counting, singing, and having fun with numbers every day!
