Songs

This song introduces children to a better way of learning basic numbers. Children must understand that a number represents a quantity. It is not just merely reciting a sequence of words.

Young children love to work with quantities; we need to foster this interest with appropriate tasks. We need to give children names for the quantities. A good way to do this is through fingers.

Start with the left hand (because we read from left to right) and continue up to 10. Keep in mind this is not counting. For example, ask them to show 7, which is 5 fingers on the left hand and 2 on the right hand. It does not matter which fingers to use on a hand.

Writing Numbers helps the child know where to start to write numbers. It is very important that a child learn to write numbers clearly and efficiently. In standard fonts, a 9 is an inverted 6, which is confusing for many children, especially those with dyslexia. The numerals used in RightStart™ Mathematics are designed to be easy to learn to write and read.
