Answer to Question #95373 in Algebra for Konika

Question

Explain why the three pre number concepts need to be developed by a learner for her to be able to count.your explanation needs to include specific examples.

Answer 1

Pre-number concepts and beginning processes is the understanding that is in place before the students formally engage in number. Pre-number is the basis of learning all number.

For example, counting is first learned as connected words by rote. The sequence of number words are memorized. "onetwothreefourfivesixseven" At first words may not be differentiated and few values are understood.

Later the words are differentiated in the sequence "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven..." A few values may be understood. Responding with a counting sequence depends entirely on memory, not on the value of numbers (cardianlity) in the sequence.
