Teaching Your Eight-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. Eight-year-olds often count up to 1,000 and have developed skip-counting skills (counting by 2s, 5s and 10s). Your child will study and apply math concepts every week at school, but there are plenty of opportunities to extend their understanding with simple math games at home.
