I am curious also about how early math skills are taught. I struggled with math, but made it through algebra II in high school. Decades later I started homeschooling my kiddo, and it is amazing how all this math that seemed so elusive in school made so much sense to me now!

Hi there, and thank you for your comment! And that's such a wonderful thing to hear, that the math made more sense to you! Great news!
There's currently a longitudinal study going on in Jyväskylä University on Early math skills, it's called: EarlyMath, Pathways to math difficulties. (-> https://www.jyu.fi/en/projects/earlymath-pathways-to-math-difficulties-a-longitudinal-study-from-birth-to-school-age)
For more information on teaching math, I suggest looking into Maths for Life (-> https://www.mathsforlife.com/what-is-maths-for-life), for example.
And for more info on the development of the basic math skills: this post: https://dyscalculia.substack.com/p/concept-map-the-elements-of-dyscalculia
