Children are born with innate skills to learn to count. Research has demonstrated that children can identify if an addition or subtraction is right or not before learning to count. This leads us to believe that they intuitively do some mathematical processes. However, children can do this only if their environment encourages them.

The way each child learns is not the same, so people taking care of them must provide the right stimuli. This accompaniment must give children a safe environment full of respect and motivation.

One of the easiest ways’ children learn is by interacting with different textures. When they touch, perceive, feel, identify, and classify, they get the information they will need to understand and learn maths.

A benefit of working with materials and textures is that you give children the option to link quantities with numbers. That is essential because it is not the same for children to repeat numbers one by one, then associate the word, the symbol, and the quantity.

The next counting games for kindergarten activity is based on Montessori's learning method. With it, we seek to help children distinguish between quantities. This way, they will learn complex concepts.

CHANGES FOR CHILDREN UNDER 4 YEARS OLD

You can do this counting games for kindergarten activity with younger children. Suppose they have not yet developed the ability to cut and paste the clay on the circles. In that case, they can do the exercise with paint, applying paint to the finger, and doing prints over each circle. If they barely know numbers, you should not draw a lot of worms. This process may not be easy for younger children, so you have to patient and do it slowly.
