Numbers in English for children

Numbers in English for children are something that is always in their learning. Today we will talk about how you can work in the classroom and how to do it at home to give continuity to that learning.

Numbers at an early age

If we think about how many times we can see numbers throughout the day, we will surely realize that we don't stop seeing them. For younger children, it is a more difficult abstract concept to understand, but one that we must progressively introduce into their lives. Numbers are used to count, order, place, add, subtract... At an early age, they are linked to reality, helping children to count, associate or group. Later, already associated with graphics, we can use them to operate and do great things with them. From Great Little People, we attach great importance to numbers. These are taken into account both in the classroom routine and in more specific activities.

Activities for working on numbers in English for children by age

Next, we are going to see a series of activities in which numbers are worked in English. We will divide it by age to adapt it to each stage.

From 0 to 3 years

As we mentioned before, at this stage the little ones come into contact with the numbers in a more specific way related to the environment. We motivate them to follow us when we count to present something “One, Two, Three” or to count the number of friends who came to class today or the amount of something. At this age we have very representative tasks such as associating the shape of an object with its shadow.

Another way that particularly attracts their attention are puzzles. At Great Little People we have many different models of puzzles related to different themes. These allow the child to understand the importance of placing the pieces to complete the figure in addition to working on fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

In addition, we can continue to carry out activities in which logical-mathematics is present, such as classifications or the association of an image with an object.

From 5 to 7 years

During this period, boys and girls are more aware of numbers and that is when their concept may be less linked to reality.

We can play board games where we use a die.

Another way may be to increase the difficulty of the activities we have already seen in addition to using others such as rules and movement games. Examples of this are Bingo or Handkerchief.
