Over the years, I have found that numbers are either really easy to teach a child or very difficult, there is no middle ground. My oldest and third child both picked up on numbers quickly and easily. In fact, they were doing math in their head from the age of 3. My second child struggles with math, but recognized numbers easily. And my fourth child, well, let’s just say we’re still working on it.
I have also found that teaching numbers is easier done if you focus on one number per week and do a review every couple weeks. At this pace, are able to get through at least 20 by the end of our first year. Another note, unless a child expresses interest, I don’t force number learning until they are at least three, maybe four years old. I just find they grasp the concept of numbers easier at that age. But, you do what works for you. These resources should help you as you work to introduce numbers and review them with your child.
