Question

explain how each of the pre number concepts support the actual process of counting your explanation should include an example.

Answer 1

It’s helpful to know what numbers and counting
skills your child should be developing by age 3 or
4. Review the following list of milestones and
note how your child is doing in each area. My
child:
Is aware of — and curious about — how numbers
and counting apply to his life and the world
around him.
Can correctly count at least five objects.
Can point to places on a number line and count
with 1-to-1 correspondence along the line (from
left to right, right to left)
Understands that the written numeral “3” means
three objects — and the same with numerals 1-5.
Can add and subtract small numbers of familiar
objects. For example: “I have three cookies. You
have two. How many do we have all together?”
Can put written numbers (numerals) from 1 to 5
in the correct order, small to large.
Can count from one to ten in the correct order.
Understands concepts of quantity (for example,
“more” and “less”) and size (such as, “bigger”
and “smaller”) and uses those terms correctly.
