Math

In Kindergarten we talk a lot about what comes before or after a number (this can be a difficult concept for some children. If your child is having a difficult time with after a number, then do not work on before yet. We like them to understand what comes after, before introducing what comes before).

Before and after numbers learning video (just do the first part if simply working on after numbers) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M32LZy7-r5M

Here is a song to practice what comes after a number.

One More song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du6JHupzwVo
