What Is Counting in Math?

Counting is one of the first skills your children will learn in math. It means saying numbers in the perfect order to find out “how many.” Your young learners will learn counting objects, actions, or numbers on a number line. Counting, therefore, includes forward counting, backwards counting, and skip counting (like 2, 4, 6, 8). It helps children understand number order, quantity, and how numbers are related. Learning to count is the foundation for addition, subtraction, and all future math topics.
