Understanding numbers is an important thing for your kids to learn. You need to introduce them to the concept of numbers because they will observe and encounter various concepts of mathematics since infancy. Sooner or later, they will start to learn about pattern recognition and quantity comparison.
Teaching numbers to children is fun and simple. Parents just need to relate numbers with daily activities so it's easier for them to learn. However, kids usually truly comprehend the concept of numbers when they are around five years old. For your younger kids such as kindergarteners and preschoolers, numbers are just a fun thing to learn.
One of the best ideas to teach numbers to your kids is using number cards 1-10. Also, you can teach them using number rhymes, like ‘One, Two, Buckle My Shoe’. Once they can learn to count 1-10, you can point out things and let them count. To make them learn faster, put it on a daily basis as often as you could. Don’t forget to make it fun and enjoyable for your kids.
