WHY PRESCHOOLERS SHOULD UNDERSTAND NUMBER SENSE

Number sense is the ability to use numbers and understand how numbers work. Key number sense concepts in preschool include counting, one to one correspondence, number recognition, and comparing quantities.

Having a good understanding of number sense allows children to solve problems more easily. It is important for preschoolers to have good number sense in order to understand math in later years, too.
