One of the most basic math concepts your child will work on in kindergarten is counting on.

It’s one step beyond counting. Basically, counting on is counting beginning from any number other than one. It sets the stage for addition and subtraction. (You can find a more detailed explanation here at this Math Homework 101 post.)

Since this such a super-important concept, it’s one you want to practice counting on at home. Luckily there are so many fun (and easy) ways to practice. Here are 10 of my favorite ideas that I’ve found.

It's so easy to practice counting on with your kids especially if you try one of these fun math games and activities that are perfect for school or home.
