PRE-NUMBER CONCEPT OF UP and DOWN

Before learning about the numbers, students get to know about the different variations of shapes, sizes, positions, etc. They learn to observe the attributes of quality, then quantity, and finally, numbers.

Teaching the pre-number concept of UP and DOWN is crucial as it lays the foundation for spatial awareness and basic mathematical understanding. It helps children develop vocabulary related to direction and position, which is essential for communication and comprehension in various subjects. Additionally, understanding these concepts is fundamental for later mathematical skills, such as graphing, measurement, and understanding number lines. Students of Kindergarten engaged in various kinaesthetic activities, understanding this concept. Later they recapped the same concept very easily in their textbooks.
