This workbook is written to help children as young as 4 years old learn to count or write numbers and do simple additions or subtractions. It is difficult for students with math dyscalculia to transfer math counting skills by using concrete objects or their fingers to calculating by using abstract symbols such as our number system 1, 2, 3 ... and even the magnitude of each digit does not come to be easy for them to understand. This workbook trains students in understanding abstract number sense without relying on counting fingers. We developed this Pre-k and Kindergarten Math by observing what difficulties our students have encountered and then revised our workbooks to tailor to their needs. Thus, this workbook will be particularly helpful to those who have encountered challenging in mastering number writing, counting, or developing number sense since it is field-tested on children who have learning difficulties. This workbook can be considered as a remediation workbook for those children who have math disabilities or dyscalculia. It could of course be used as a regular math workbook by young beginners who have not experienced any math disabilities.
