The average pre-test scores increased by 41,38% across count components after participating in the finger-counting activities. In addition, students demonstrated enhanced fine motor coordination, improved learning focus, and greater enthusiasm during lessons. The ABCD approach also succeeded in increasing teacher and parent involvement in the learning process, thereby creating a more collaborative and sustainable learning environment.
