Preschool Math

ABCmouse.com’s preschool math program concentrates on the numbers 1–5 and six shapes.

On the topics of numbers and counting, our online preschool math curriculum has three main objectives:

  1. 1) teaching the sequence of 1-2-3-4-5;
  2. 2) teaching children that the symbols 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 represent the oral words one, two, three, four, five; and
  3. 3) teaching children to relate those symbols and oral words to the quantities that they represent—a basic aspect of an important ability that mathematics educators refer to as number sense.

On the topic of shapes, the ABCmouse.com preschool math online curriculum teaches children to name and identify circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, diamonds, and stars; to observe important characteristics of these shapes; and to recognize them when they appear in the environment.

The math curriculum includes many online preschool math games that offer engaging and fun ways to practice and reinforce important math basics.

“Research has shown that children learn more from birth to age five than at any other time in their lives. Children who complete the curriculum of ABCmouse.com during those all–important formative years will be very well prepared for kindergarten, and that can make a very big difference in the rest of their schooling.”
