Numeracy
With your support, toddlers are developing their ability to understand and work with numbers
At A Glance
Numeracy skills are the foundation of all areas of math. Toddlers use their numeracy skills all the time. For example, they count strawberries at snack time or notice when they have fewer toys than a friend. We can support children’s development of numeracy skills by counting objects, talking about numbers, and comparing quantities.
