What is Counting Up and Down?
Counting is like climbing up and down a number ladder!
When we count up, we start with a small number and make it bigger (1, 2, 3...). When we count down, we start with a big number and make it smaller (10, 9, 8...). You can do both all the way up to 20!
How to Count Up and Down
1️⃣ Start small: Begin with numbers you know well (1-10)
2️⃣ Take steps: Add 1 to count up, subtract 1 to count down
3️⃣ Practice daily: Count everything around you - toys, stairs, snacks!
