Pre-Number Concepts Build Math Readiness
Pre-number concepts help children compare objects and understand simple math ideas before counting. These lessons make children ready for numbers, addition, subtraction, and other Class 1 mathematics topics.
Start Bigger and Smaller
Why are pre-number concepts important?
Pre-number concepts help children compare objects before learning numbers. Children learn ideas like big and small, heavy and light, long and short, near and far, on and under, and more and less. These ideas make early mathematics easier to understand.
What will children learn?
Children will learn how to look at two or more objects and compare them. They will understand which object is bigger, smaller, heavier, lighter, longer, shorter, taller, nearer, farther, more, or less.
Recommended learning order
Start with Bigger and Smaller. After that, children can learn heavier and lighter, longer and shorter, taller and shorter, thicker and thinner, far and near, on and under, and more and less.
How parents can teach at home
Parents can use daily objects like books, pencils, bottles, fruits, toys, and boxes. Ask simple questions such as “Which one is bigger?”, “Which one is heavier?”, “Which one is near?”, and “Which group has more?”.
Next Step
Begin with Bigger and Smaller for Class 1 and continue step by step.
