“Bean Bag Counting” teaches your child how to count to 5 by associating numbers with beanbags. Children should be comfortable counting to 5 beanbags without the aid of a parent before moving on.

More

“Around the Room” gives children more counting practice. Instead of counting lined up objects on a table, children count pictures on a wall, which builds more abstract thinking.

More

“Hide and Seek” teaches your child cardinality – the idea that the last number they counted when numbering a group of objects is the same as the number of objects. This provides more counting practice and builds the foundation for addition and subtraction.

More

“Air Writing” helps your child recognize numerals. By connecting a number of images with an abstract numeral, children will build their first real understanding of math’s alphabet.

More

“Matching” develops fundamental grouping and numeral recognition skills as your child connects numerals with groups of objects.

More

“Number Slap” gives children more practice with recognizing numerals. Children should be comfortable recognizing numbers up to 7 before moving on.

More

“Plus One” helps children understand that adding one more object results in the next number on the number line. Ultimately, children will be able to count by ones, twos, and threes, which leads into basic addition.

More

“Egyptian Card Slap” quickens your child’s ability to recognize small numbers of objects. This develops grouping capabilities that allow children to quickly assess how many objects they are dealing with (e.g., instantly recognizing the number of dots on dice, oranges in a carton, etc.)

More

“Phone Dialing” gives children additional numeral recognition practice. At the same time, it teaches children a very valuable life skill: how to use a phone.

More

“Counting Cups” connects cardinality – the idea that the last number counted is the number of objects – with recognizing numerals. It also gives your child hands-on practice in grouping small objects.

More

The “Number Board” lays the foundation for addition and subtraction. Understanding where a number falls on the number line helps your child understand the sequence of numbers as well as the distance between them (subtraction).

More

“Number Concentration” practices counting, recognizing numerals, and builds memory retention. It is the math version of the classic card game, “Concentration.”

More

“Musical Stars” practices recognizing numerals from 1 to 10.

More

Learning to count is a necessary prerequisite to building a strong understanding of any math concept. Counting and recognizing numerals can and should be taught at a young age. These skills build a child’s mental capacity, enabling them to think analytically. Games and activities are an interactive and fun way to give your child the necessary repetition and practice to master the material.

Here are a series of games to teach counting and numeral recognition. They are easy to set up, simple, and short. Repeat the games regularly and frequently to help your child master the material.

The games in this section begin with learning how to count from 1 to 5 and progresses to recognizing numerals from 1 to 10. Several skills such as increased memory retention, subitizing, one-to-one correspondence, and grouping will be introduced in this section.

These counting activities can be done with two-year-old toddlers; however, the later activities in this section are designed for three to four-year-olds. If your child is two years old, spend several months practicing the first few exercises before trying some of the later ones.

If your child has trouble completing these activities, do not be concerned. Simply wait a few months and try again!

When Do Kids Start Counting to 10?

Feb 12, 2022 Counting to 10 is a major developmental milestone to which many parents look forward. But, at what point should your child start to learn numbers, and when should they be able to count to 10?

Math is all around us and from the moment children start exploring the world, they are learning. Whether they are identifying shapes, recognizing patterns, or predicting events, these are all mathematical concepts that develop as a child ages. But, at what age do children start to understand numbers?

The truth is, children will recite numbers before they actually understand the concept behind them. Though every child is different, most toddlers will be able to count to 10 by the time they are two-years-old. At this point in time they are probably repeating them mostly by memory and have yet to understand what they actually mean.

This concept is known as “rote” counting. Rote counting is when a child can say numbers in order, and is mostly learned through hearing the numbers repeatedly said out loud by others. 

Take this free cutting-edge 3-minute quiz. You will find out if your child is on track with his milestones and receive a free report with a personalized plan of learning. Speech Blubs is full of activities to encourage speech development!

A post shared by Speech Blubs (@speechblubs)

When rote counting to 10, children may be able to cite numbers in order or may jump from number to number randomly. The more they hear others count, the more confident they will become in reciting the proper number orders. 

Note: Don’t panic if your child is not able to count to 10 by the time they are 2-years-old. This is the average age that children learn to count, but is by no means definitive.

All children learn at their own pace and some will learn more quickly than others. You can help your child learn numbers by working with them on a regular basis and engaging in toddler math activities.

We mentioned above that even though most toddlers can cite their numbers by 2, they don’t necessarily understand the concept behind them. Children don’t actually start to understand the concepts of counting until between 2-4 years of age. 

The first sign that your child is starting to understand the concept behind numbers is with a skill known as one-to-one correspondence. You will often see this during playtime. One-to-one correspondence is when children start to group objects, pointing to each one as they count them. Again, this math skill is often learned by copying others. 

The next stage is understanding what these numbers represent. For example, if you count “one,” “two,” “three” cars, then there are three cars total in that group.

Once children start to understand this concept, the next stage is pairing numbers with their written numerals. Most children can start to understand this pairing by their preschool years, or 3-4 years of age. 

Other mathematical concepts that are usually developed by the preschool years include the ability to recognize shapes, use classifications (height, size, etc. ), use spatial awareness for puzzles, and start predicting cause and effect relationships.

9 Early Math Games for Kids Learning to Count to 10

Here are some early math games for kids that you can do with your toddler to help them learn numbers and to count to 10:

1.

If you give a toddler a beautiful toy, what will they want to play with? A box. This is because toddlers love “real-life” toys and often prefer them to plastic kids’ toys.

With a toddler, things like boxes, pots, and pans, and money will attract more attention than any toddler toy – so why not utilize this to your advantage?

To encourage counting for preschoolers, let them count coins. At the same time, you can work on sorting the coins by size and on learning the different values of the coins. Each of these are mathematical concepts that will develop over time, but that you can encourage by practicing regularly.

You can purchase magnetic fishing games at almost any store that sells children’s toys.

These games are exactly what you would think they are – children use a magnetic pole to go “fishing” for magnetic fish.

Encourage your child to count the number of fish as they catch them. Not only will this encourage counting, but it will also help them with their hand-eye coordination.

Children love to sing and dance, and singing songs together is a great way to enhance learning. It is a perfect math game for kids, since they won’t even know they are learning! And when it comes to counting to 10, there are many songs out there that can help your child learn.

All you have to do is search YouTube for “number songs,” and you can choose from a long list of catchy tunes to help your child learn their numbers – and have a blast while doing it.  

When it comes to learning, we always like to encourage you to get your children outside. And when it comes to mathematics, nature is one of the most educational places your child can be.

Why? Because there are examples of math all over – the symmetry of a snowflake, the pattern of a pinecone, the geometry of a honeycomb, the height of different trees – math is everywhere you look. Of course, you can’t expect your toddler to understand the geometry of a honeycomb, but you can encourage them to count outdoors. **You also might check out Jon Scieszka’s bestseller, The Math Curse, for a fun story about a child who encounters math in everyday activities.

Go for a walk, choose a piece of nature (i.e., a tree), and see how many you can count on your way.

Speech Blubs is a speech therapy app that can help toddlers and young children to work on their speech. It can be used by all children, including those at a “typical” developmental level, and those with developmental speech delays due to conditions like autism or other learning disabilities. 

The NUM8ER5 AND M3 section of the app puts elementary numerical concepts on the tips of children’s tongues. It is a great early math game that you can use to teach counting to preschoolers.

Speech therapists will tell you that as children learn, the brain processes mathematical and linguistic stimulus in completely different locations of the brain. But, by doing exercises that target both of these neural centers simultaneously, you can help pave new neural networks within the brain. 

When using Speech Blubs, children’s participation will be rewarded with fun facts that show how various numbers appear within the world, on our bodies, and within society in general. Regular updates of fresh and new content keep the app exciting and interesting for young ones. 

Remember, however, that while the app works to help kids learn numbers and the concepts behind them, children always reap the most benefits when their parents participate. In return, it’s important that you make time to laugh along, mimic the speech models with your child, and extend the ideas on the app into the real world so that they can gain more context.

The more time you spend doing toddler activities and using the Speech Blubs app with your child, the more benefits they will receive from it.

6.

Draw numbers from 1 to 10 on large pieces of paper. Tape them on the objects around the playroom or in your living room. For example, one can be on a chair, two can be on the couch, three in the corner, four on the wall, five at the window, etc.  When you shout out a number, your child has to go to that number and point to any object they represent! If they struggle you can give them clues. This activity is best for kids aged 3 or 4 when they have already learned the numbers by rote. It is also fun physical activity if you tell them they have to be as fast as possible or if you have more kids in the room who can compete to arrive first at the right number.

7.

For this one, you need masking tape. Tape the shape of a number on a big piece of paper and ask your little one to trace them with colored pencils or sharpies. Besides the number writing practice, this activity is also great for working on their fine motor skills! If they like it, it can keep them occupied while you take some time off, prepare a meal, etc.

8. Sort the Colorful Mini Pom-Poms

Take an egg carton, and write a number in each of the egg compartments. Color each with a specific color. Now find objects to fit in the egg compartment that are the same color. This can be paper clips or small fluffy pom-poms you can get in the dollar store. Now match the number of pom-poms with the number and color in an egg compartment. For example, 1 yellow pom-pom, 2 red pom-poms, 3 green pom-poms, etc. Give your toddler the exact number of pom-poms for each color! Mix them up, and ask your child to sort them. They will be sorting for hours, learning colors and numbers at the same time.

9. Count with Legos

If you have Legos or any other toy building bricks at home, you can simply count them and learn numbers. Write numbers from one to 10 on a piece of paper. Below each number write a square or a box. Ask your child to put one Lego brick in the box under the number one, two under the number two, three under the number three, and so on. This will teach your child to compare what is less and what is more. You can also ask them: “Is one less than two? If I have two lego bricks, do I have more than one?” Don’t be too bothered with right or wrong answers (you can model to them what is right), the point is to just get them familiar with comparisons.

Tactile interactive stand "Counting from 1 to 10"

Teaching children numbers in the form of tactile, visual and sound perception. Education takes place in the form of an exciting interactive game, expanding the horizons of the child and uplifting.

Tactile-information stand "Account from 1 to 10" is intended for healthy children and children with disabilities (blind and visually impaired, deaf and hearing impaired, with cognitive impairments).

Our educational stand is unique: it is suitable for absolutely all categories of children, making learning in preschool institutions as accessible as possible.

For visual perception, the figures on the panel are presented in a flat format. To the left of each number is a visual correspondence (2 - in the form of a swan, 5 - a boat with a sail, 7 - a boomerang).

In this way, the child can understand what the sign looks like. Next to it there is also its quantitative designation.

For blind children, the panel next to the images contains Braille numbers. The figure itself and the pictures are equipped with a tactile image so that the child can “count” them. And tactile delimiters will not let him confuse the correspondence of numbers, font and image.

Auditory comments (voice acting) are responsible for the sound perception of the panel, compiled taking into account all groups of the population. To do this, click on the button next to the picture.

All tactile images are designed and produced by qualified sensory experts. At the same time, the stand is used as a gaming and educational equipment, having several sound modes:

• Digit
• Poem
• Counting
• Braille system

OUR ADVANTAGE - LONG-TERM EXPERIENCE AND QUALITY!

Cheerful counting from 1 to 10

Here is one or one,
Very thin, like a needle,

But this is the number two.
Admire what it is:

Arches the deuce neck,
Tail dragging behind her.

A for double - see
The number three appears.

Three - the third of the badges
Consists of two hooks.

Three followed by four,
Sharp elbow of a bulge.

And then she went dancing
On paper, the number is five.

Hand extended to the right,
She sharply bent her leg.

Number six - door lock:
Hook above, circle below.

Here is the seven - poker.
She has one leg.

Figure eight has two rings
Without beginning and end.

Number nine or nine
Circus acrobat:

If you stand on your head,
The number six nine will become.

Digit like letter O
It's zero or nothing.

Round zero so pretty,
But it doesn't mean anything!

If left, next to it
We accept the unit,
He will weigh more,
Because it's ten.

These numbers are in order
Write it down in your notebook.
I'm talking about each now
I'll write a story for you.

1

Lived in the problem book
One yes one.
They went to fight
One on one.

But soon one
Crossed out one.
And now there is no
left Nothing from them.

And if we were friends
They are among themselves,
That would have lived for a long time
And there would be two of them!

2

Two sisters - two hands
Chop, build, dig,

Pull weeds in the garden
And wash each other.

Two hands kneading
Left and right,
Sea and river water
They rake while swimming.

3

Traffic lights have three colors,
They are clear to the driver:

Red light
There is no travel.
Yellow
Be ready for the journey,
And the green light - go!

4

Four corners in the room.
Four legs at the table.
And four legs
The mouse and the cat.

Four wheels running,
Rubber shod.
What will you walk in two hours,
They are in two minutes.

5

Before you are five brothers.
At home, they are all without dresses.

A outside but
Everyone needs a coat.

6

Six
Kittens
Yes
They want.

Give them porridge with milk.
Let them lap their tongues,
Because cats
They don't eat from a spoon.

7

Seven nights and days in a week.
Seven things in your portfolio:
Blotter and notebook,
And a pen to write,
And an elastic band to stain
Cleaned up neatly,
Both a pencil case and a pencil,
And the primer is your friend.

8

Eight wooden dolls,
Chubby and ruddy,
In colorful sundresses
They live on our table.
Everyone is called Matryoshka.

First thick doll,
And inside it is empty.

She is getting divorced
For two halves.
Another
lives in it Doll in the middle.

Open this chrysalis
There will be a third in the second.

Unscrew half,
Dense, ground,

And you will be able to find
The fourth doll.

Take it out and look,
Who is hiding in it inside.

The fifth is hiding in it
Pupa pot-bellied,
And inside is empty.
The sixth one lives in it.
And in the sixth
Seventh,
And in the seventh
Eighth.

This doll is the smallest,
A little more than a walnut.

Behold, lined up,
Doll sisters are standing.

- How many are you? - we will ask them,
And the dolls will answer: - Eight!

9

Nine to ten,
To nine without ten,
By nine to ten
You need to go to school.

A bell is heard at nine.
The lesson starts.

Nine to ten
It's time for the kids to go to sleep.
And don't lie down in bed
You will peck your nose!

0

That's zero or nothing.
Listen to a story about him.

Said cheerful, round zero
Neighbor-unit:
- With you next to me, let me
Stay on my page!

She threw him
With an angry, proud look:
- You, zero, are not worth anything.
Don't stand next to me!

Zero answered: - I admit,
That I'm not worth anything,
But you can become ten,
If I will be with you.
