What Does It Mean to Represent Numbers?
Numbers can be shown in many different ways!
We can write them as digits (like 5), count objects (like 5 apples), show them on our fingers, or even
see them as dots on dice. Learning all these ways helps us understand numbers better!
Ways to Show Numbers
1️⃣ Digits: The numbers we write (1, 2, 3...)
2️⃣ Counting objects: Like 4 cookies or 6 blocks
3️⃣ Fingers: Holding up fingers to show a number
4️⃣ Number words: Writing "three" or "seven"

Parent Tips 🌟
- Make it real: Count everyday objects like snacks, toys, or steps to make numbers meaningful.
- Use different representations: Show the same number as digits, objects, fingers, and words to reinforce understanding.
- Play number games: Try "I Spy" with numbers or count items during walks to practice in fun ways.
