Number sense is crucial to success in math. So often we think that once our kids can count to a certain number that they have mastered all those numbers. But there is so much more to numbers than counting them in sequential order. Having a strong number sense means that you recognize their values and you have a good understanding of a numbers relationship with other numbers so that you can manipulate them. This educational activity for preschoolers will work on matching number values and number symbols.
Your pre-k kiddo is going to have a lot of fun identifying numbers and values while playing this Valentine’s Day game.
