Free counting games for kids
Counting is the first maths skill and the foundation for everything after it. Children need to say the numbers in order, match one number to each object, and know that the last number counted is the total.
Number Quest shows groups of dots and asks how many there are, with big answer tiles and gentle feedback. It's ideal practice for preschool and the first year of school.
