Preschool Math: Counting Past 10 for a Future Gifted Child

by Thomas McDowell

Child must be able to count to ten and count ten objects.Mistakenly, no one seems to advocate teaching math concepts to 2, 3, 4, and 5 year old children. There doesn’t seem to be an understanding that mathematics is like a language. It has its own vocabulary and patterns. Grandparents and parents can give preschool children a giant head start in school and life by treating and teaching math as a language. If a preschool child can learn a language with minimal drill, why can’t he or she just as easily be introduced to math concepts like addition, multiplication, negative numbers, squares and square roots, and so on without excessive formal drill?This eBook, the first in a series, begins that process by teaching the names of big numbers using skip counting and pattern addition.
