I’m a big believer that little kids should start working on their numbers at a young age. This is because no matter how old they get, numbers are the one thing that is always going to stay the same.

These math worksheets are a great way to make counting fun while enjoying the summer weather.

Teaching your child to count to 20 is a simple way you can instill math in their brains at a very young age. And the sooner that they learn how to count to 20, the sooner that they’ll learn how to count to 100 or 1000 or more.

You can practice counting up to 20, but you can also use the mats for addition and subtraction. We like to switch it up a bit to keep it exciting and new. 

I like to ask my daughter, how many is 4 more than 5, and then she can count and then add on.

Or how much is 3 less than 8?
