Developing a strong number sense in kindergarten lays the groundwork for all future mathematical learning. This early stage of math work is crucial because it builds confidence in dealing with numbers and fosters a positive attitude toward mathematics. Strong number sense skills enable children to solve problems more effectively and think critically as they progress through school. Moreover, early mathematical skills can predict overall academic success, making the cultivation of these skills a priority in kindergarten and early education.
Of course, an amazing way to develop number sense is by using a ten frame. Ten frames help kiddos see numbers in groups. So check out a few simple ways to help develop number senses with the kiddos in your classroom.
