How to teach your child numbers: games and exercises
First steps
First, show your child what a number looks like, explaining that this symbol stands for, for example, one. Then move on to entertainment: paint a number with your child, cut it out of paper, sculpt it from plasticine.
Next is training and testing. Has the child learned to distinguish a number from others? In order to find out this, there are corresponding exercises. For example, make cards of different shapes and colors, each with a number on it. Then ask the child, selecting cards one at a time, to put aside those on which the desired one is drawn. You can do the same with cubes or chips.
Teaching your child numbers: rules for success
Healthy interest
Getting to know the numbers should be interesting and bright. After all, as a rule, this happens at 3-4 years old, that is, at an age when children are not yet aware of what “need” is, obviously preferring the verb “want”. Therefore, learning must necessarily take place in a playful way, so that the child enjoys the process and is not forced into it. If the child takes on each lesson with enthusiasm, it means that he will grasp the material on the fly!
