Learning Number Sense for Preschoolers

Posted on May 17, 2020 by Barbara Mascareno

Number sense for preschoolers is a fundamental math skill. Most preschoolers already have a natural curiosity about counting. They already know that putting toys together generates more toys.

However, learning numbers sense at a young age needs more than knowing labels. So, you want to find learning activities that motivate children to learn concepts of more than, less than, and equal to.

In that way, they can make connections between numbers, words, and grouping.

Teaching Number Sense to Preschoolers

As you seek ways to introduce numbers, use simple tools. For instance, you might use flashcards and memory games to match up numbers and words.

However, for children that already know the numbers, use more engaging activities. In that case, make use of household items to count more, less, or equal amounts.
