Mathematical Development in Young Children – Abstract Counting
Dr. Sudha Swaminathan describes the importance of providing children ample opportunities to manipulate tangible objects while developing counting skills. This foundational understanding eventually leads to their ability to engage in abstract counting. This video is part of a series describing children’s early mathematical development and showing how professionals can support this development during play, in daily routines, and through explicit teaching.
