Why Is It Important For Kids To Work On Number Sense Activities?

Preschool number puzzles and number recognition activities and games provide a solid foundation for future math skills.

Number Identification

Number identification is sometimes the first step towards understanding what numbers are. Kids need lots of practice to be able to look at a number and name it appropriately.

Counting Fluency

Being able to count smoothly and effortlessly goes a long way toward ease with future math concepts and skills. It takes lots of counting practice to reach that level of ease.

One-to One Correspondence

Counting groups of objects and assigning each object one more gives meaning to the numbers that kids identify. Then they begin understanding quantity.

Make Connections

Preschool counting games help kids make connections between different numbers. It helps them see 10 is greater than 2, or 5 is an odd number.

Practicing numbers 1 to 10 is also super effective in the sensory bin. Hide plastic numbers and have kids find and identify them, or hide objects to pull out and count and identify the number.

Addition and Subtraction

Each page includes a simple addition sentence that adds up to the featured number. When students are ready, you can teach them that subtraction is the opposite of addition.

Add Counters

Activities become more meaningful when we add a hands-on element. Consider placing counters in the math center with the interactive notebooks so kids can use them to count and add.
