Teaching Your Six-Year-Old Numbers and Counting
Numbers and counting are a crucial part of your child's growing mathematical understanding. These early math concepts build a foundation for more complex mathematical processes in the future. Six-year-olds can count pretty high — often up to 200! This allows them to explore more math concepts, such as skip counting and place value. Your child will begin to study and apply these math concepts every week at school. At home, you can continue to look for opportunities to extend their understanding of numbers and counting in everyday activities and by playing simple math games.
