数值技能在婴儿期和学龄前儿童在日常活动中暴露于不同的定量和空间关系时出现的。
At 6 months babies typically can detect the difference between quantities of small sets of objects (e.g., a container with two blocks vs. one with three blocks), and they even can detect the difference between more numerous sets of objects if the ratio of one set to the other is large enough (e.g., 16 versus 32 dots).
幼儿逐渐学习学习语言的数字名称。到3岁的儿童已经记忆了1到10岁，并且开始成功地计算小型物体
Children around 6 years of age learn to generate numbers with decade structures (i.e., teens, twenties), understand what numbers mean, learn to count increasingly large sets of objects, understand that the last number of a count is the number of objects in a set, and understand how to add and subtract.
许多学龄儿童争取学习数学概念和技能。了解研究的早期发展可以为培养数学思维所需的工具提供幼儿教育者和小学教师。
