Counting skills are a bedrock of early mathematics education and fundamental for children's overall cognitive development. For children aged 6-7, employing extra challenges such as counting money can provide significant benefits for their academic and real-world readiness. Parents and educators should prioritize these activities because they promote numerical fluency, facilitate better understanding of value and numbers, and reinforce addition and subtraction skills.

First, counting different denominations of coins or bills helps children hone their ability to recognize numbers and understand their order and value. These activities go beyond rote learning and engage children in meaningful problem-solving scenarios, making math more tangible and practical. It provides a context that can enhance memory retention compared to abstract exercises.

Moreover, counting money encourages critical thinking and decision-making, as children determine how many coins are needed to buy items or figure out the correct change. This can foster early financial literacy, a crucial skill for adult life. It also touches on life skills such as budgeting and savings, laying the groundwork for responsible financial behaviors later on.

By utilizing money in counting exercises, parents and teachers nurture a well-rounded mathematical understanding in children, setting a robust foundation for more complex mathematical concepts and real-life applications in the future.
