Whole Numbers/Numeracy

It is recommended by the authors in chapter 8 that abundant activities should be included to support a variety of experiences for young learners to acquire a full understanding of the concepts. 

Some of the common numeracy activities found in preschools are listed below:
  • Counting
  
  • Recognizing and Writing Numbers
I feel that the relationships of more than and less than, estimation and measurement, and part-part-whole relationships are uncommon teaching approaches adopted by teachers in preschool settings. To my dismay, we may have been teaching students too little of what they ought to or deserve to know.
