Numbers cut out of sand paper - Have her trace them with her finger, put them under a piece of paper and rub over it with the side of a broken crayon, etc. Try tactile representations, and not always in counting order. I'd try repeating the question back to her correctly before you answer.Īs for the number symbols, it does sound as if she's behind on that, but she's getting there if she can count objects. Some languages put words in a different order than English does, and if she is translating her questions, she may not realize she has to flip them. Try teaching her one, two, three for a week and see if she starts to remember them.Ī different language was my first thought as well. The question then maybe is English her first language? Did she go to preschool or someone was teaching her any numbers before coming to school? Because if no, she maybe just a slow learner and even after year at school, she still did not had enough of practice in number recognition. I just know how to count in order, which seems to me she is doing as well. I know how to count in different languages but if you asked me how to say five in Japanise, I will first count in my head or count quickly on my fingers. One think comes to my mind with her counting on her fingers before giving you answer. I can see that counting to 100could be memorized. When it comes to numbers, I am wondering when she started to learn them. I hear sometimes my three year olds say something like that, but by four I really do not hear them make mistakes like this. It is little bit strange the way she asks those questions.
