5, 6, 7, 8…. 5, 6, 7, 8… Teaching your child to count? This video illustrates two important early math skills you’ll want to know. The first is rote counting, which is the process of memorizing and reciting numbers in their correct order. Rote counting can be done anywhere - and doesn’t require any materials. It’s just counting out loud (think of it like the numerical equivalent of the Alphabet Song). You can practice it in the car, in the tub… anywhere. Obviously, this little one is fixated on a particular sequence (5 through 8) at this point in her development, which she repeats over and over. More will come. Impressively, she’s also showing an early knowledge of one-to-one correspondence. This is the skill of counting one - and only one - object as you count/say each number. Watch as she counts off the individual paving stones in her path… reciting a new number each time she lands on one with her left foot. Both skills are important, but one to one counting is the more conceptual ability. You can help to nurture it by demonstrating it as you count together with your child. To do so you’ll need to be counting actual, physical objects. Count slowly, touching each object as you go and connecting each number spoken with a single item in the sequence. One to one correspondence leads to number sense… which is a connection between number and quantity. (Knowing that the number “three” is applied to a set of 3 - and only 3 - objects. Happy counting!
