This is informal knowledge a pupil has about numbers before getting introduced to the formal concept in formal school.This knowledge is predominantly from the home background where the pupil interacts with the adults and the peer with the use of terms such as;
one,two,three,.......greater than,less than,equal to,more than,...etc.
Pre-number concept varies from one pupil to the other depending on the background the pupil comes from and therefore it is imperative for the teacher to take time to understand the pupils individually before the formal introduction of numbers in class is done.
