The benefits of counting counters
In modern pedagogy, it is customary to actively use game techniques in teaching preschool children, including elements of folklore: songs, riddles, rhymes and rhymes. The latter have proven their effectiveness in classes for the formation of elementary mathematical concepts in children when learning to count.
Already at 3–4 years old in the second junior group of kindergarten, a child learns to count to 5. By graduation from the middle group, a 4–5 year old child should know the numbers from zero to ten, count from one to five forwards and backwards. A graduate of the senior group must be able to count within ten, as well as competently use ordinal and cardinal numbers, and answer the questions “which” and “how many”. Before entering school, a preparatory group graduate must be able to do all the same things, but within twenty

Counting books have always been interesting to children of different ages as an opportunity to fairly and honestly distribute roles in a game or identify the order of tasks.
