Numbers are the foundation for completing and understanding different math problems. As children grow up, their education broadens and numbers play a big part on how their education develops. By learning the numbers, children can understand simple math concepts from a young age, which causes a great impact on their confidence in their math skills. This confidence paves the way for a more easy-going learning process in the future.
The main step is to teach kids how to identify the first ten numerals (0 through 9), teaching them the sounds of numbers in English and also how to write the numbers.This learning process might be a bit difficult but also very rewarding, since kids need to put different skills in practice to differentiate some numbers from others, e.g. number 6 from number 9, which are quite close in appearance, they are not only learning math but developing other important skills as well. After this, it becomes easier to start teaching the little ones the amount that each numeral represents. This knowledge is essential for children going to school. During lessons, they can be asked to cut six circle shapes on a cardboard, or maybe tell them to ask one question to a classmate, simple instructions they will easily comprehend.
As children grow up, it’s very useful to help them learn the concepts of cardinal numbers and ordinal numbers as well. Explain the difference between these two categories and also when and how to use each one, this will be helpful not only in school but for their day-to-day life as well.
