Early Numeracy in Pre-Schoolers

Recent article in the New York Times (Brain Power - Studying Young Minds, and How to Teach Them - Series - NYTimes.com http://bit.ly/4oKBPX) looks at different ways to teach preschool children. I thought this was going to be another article that focused on reading. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it focused on math. Educators need to realize that math skills can be taught at an earlier age. We need to think about how children should be taught math basics including one-to-one correspondence. Lots of good info in this article.
