My dd is nearly 3 - although was just over two months prem but apparently that shouldn’t matter now - and she just has no clue. None.
She can barely count to 10. If I ask her ‘how many’ she just looks vacantly at me. She will independently say ‘I’ve got two’ or ‘I’ve got three’ but she can’t touch count to save her life.
My friend’s daughter the same age can touch count to 10 and also recognise that if the has 5 or something and uses 2 she will have 3. My son was also very good at maths by 3.
Dd can’t recognise any numbers apart from 1 and 3 - although she’s got quite a lot of letters and has picked those up from alphablocks on her own - but numbers she has absolutely no idea. She’s got shapes, she knows how to share in half and quarters by breaking up a biscuit for example but actual numbers and counting she is just vacant.
I’ve tried number songs and playing games etc and still no.
She starts preschool in January and Im worried she will be miles behind already.
Does anyone have any good games that might help her? Has anyone had similar with their child and they’ve turned out to be ok at numeracy when they go to school?
