Abstract

The Gap between parents’ desire for their children to have early numeracy skills and that children need to learn counting according to appropriate early counting principles based on Local Culture gives rise to several issues in early childhood counting principles. Examining the urgency of introducing the correct concept of early counting is essential. This study aims to explore various research findings on early childhood counting principles based on the local culture of South Sumatra. The research method used is a literature review of primary sources. The literature review findings indicate nine principles of early counting: (1) the One-to-one correspondence principle, (2) the principle of counting in a stable sequence, (3) the Cardinality principle, (4) the principle of counting in an irrelevant order, (5) Abstract counting principle, (6) Memorization and rational counting principle, (7) Principle of counting using daily concepts based on Local Culture, (8) Problem-oriented counting principle, (9) Repetition counting. This research provides new insights by examining information on these nine principles derived from 52 recent research studies from 2020 until 2023. The impact is that teachers can focus on stimulating early numeracy skills in young children according to the principles of early counting. In conclusion, learning to count based on the principles of early counting indicates success in early numeracy learning.
