Linder, Beth Powers-Costello and Dolores Steglein (2011) have described how learning experiences earlier in life that encourage positive opinions/attitudes towards mathematics are needed in order to support children’s interest and maintain development. Therefore, creating activities or learning initiatives that promote experiences through play, games, interaction, discovery/adventure in their home/school life can greatly assist in making meaningful connections to mathematical concepts (Linder et al., 2011).
Picture books are a great way for students to engage with a topic and become invested with the material. This is no different with counting.
