Counting and Numbers

What is Counting?

Counting is how we figure out how many objects we have. We use numbers like 1, 2, and 3 to count things around us, such as apples or blocks.

Recognizing Numbers

It's important to know what numbers look like and what they mean. Each number stands for a certain amount. For example, the number 4 means four of something.

Learning Through Play

You can count toys, snacks, or even your steps as you walk. Counting can be a fun game!

Why Counting Matters

Counting helps you understand the world, organize things, and solve problems every day.

Practice Counting

  • Count the number of crayons in your box.

Examples

  • Counting five apples in a basket.

  • Saying numbers out loud while climbing ten steps.
