Pre-math skills

Pre-math skills

Prior to learning mathematics, preschoolers and kindergarten students learn pre-math skills. They include learning to count numbers, learning the proper sequencing of numbers (1 comes before 2 and so on), learning to determine which shapes are bigger or smaller, and learning to count objects on a screen or book. Pre-math skills are also tied into literacy skills to learn the correct pronunciations of numbers as well as larger numbers (10, 100, and in some school districts, up to 1000). These skills are essential for life because most careers require a decent background in math and science. Even jobs like a clerk, a secretary, or a homemaker require math or science skills.
