But others have a different idea. They believe finger counting shows a better understanding of numbers. Recent study has shown that teaching kids to count on their fingers can improve their math skills.Scientists from Switzerland and France found out the result of finger counting on children. They carried out a study with children who didn't usually count on their fingers. They wanted to find out if it would help them in math. The study found 328 kindergarten(幼儿园) children in France. Before the study began, they tested the children to see how well they could solve some simple math problems. Then, they put the children into two groups. One group took part in a two-week training program where they learned to count on their fingers. After the training, they were tested again. The results were surprising! The percentage of their right answers added from 37% to 77%. This was a much bigger jump than the group that didn't have the training.Dr.Catherine Thevenot, who led the study, explained the importance of the study, "Over 75% of the kindergartners improved with the training. We give a clear answer to if teachers should support(支持) finger counting. "This study started because some teachers weren't sure if finger counting was a good way of teaching. The findings of this study show that it certainly is. Finger counting not only helps children with their math but also shows that they understand numbers better. This way prepares young learners to become better at math as they grow older.
