Counting is the way we figure out how many things there are by giving each one a number, one after the other.

  • Why We Use Them?

We use numbers to count things, keep track, and organize items. Counting allows us to perform mathematical operations, create things, solve complex equations, and make decisions.

  • When to Use Them?

We use counting and measuring operations when we count objects, do math, organize sequences and when we make and create things.
