A typical 3 year old can hold up the correct number of fingers when they are asked how old they are. At this age, your child is realising what numbers are and how to use them.
Though most 3 year olds can only count to three, it won’t be long until your child is able to four or five. The concept of maths or counting in their head, will take longer to understand.
To encourage your preschooler’s math skills, incorporate counting into everyday activities.
Get your child to count with you as you set the table for dinner; one plate, two plates, three plates.
When you go to the park, count the kids on the playground.
Count the red cars that go by when you take your daily walk.
