Parents can begin to teach preschool math to their young ones through song. As a parent you should try to make learning as fun as possible and songs are a great method of teaching.
Here are the best songs to start you off.

Eleven, twelve,
Dig and delve;

Maids a-courting;

Seventeen, eighteen,
Maids a-waiting;
Nineteen, twenty,
My plate’s empty.
