Parents and teachers should prioritize extra counting practice for children ages 5-9 due to the foundational role it plays in mathematical development. At this critical age range, kids are building essential number sense, which is the ability to understand numbers, their relationships, and how they are affected by operations. Counting practice reinforces these concepts, supporting mental arithmetic skills and enabling children to approach more complex mathematical tasks with confidence.

Moreover, consistent exposure to numbers and counting challenges enhances problem-solving abilities and logical thinking. By situating counting exercises within various contexts—such as games, hands-on activities, or practical life scenarios—adults foster an engaging and enjoyable learning environment. This enthusiasm for math can contribute to a positive attitude towards the subject, reducing math anxiety and encouraging persistence.

Additionally, mastery in early numerical skills has been linked to academic success in later years, not just in math but across subjects that involve analytical and logical reasoning. Intervening early allows for the identification and support of any learning difficulties, ensuring that all children receive the help they need to prosper academically. Ultimately, investing time in counting practices equips young learners with crucial skills that transcend the numeric realm, cultivating a well-rounded approach to learning and problem-solving.
