ENGLISH BASICS
COUNTING
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 for simply counting things, keeping track of and organizing products. We perform mathematical operations that allows us to create things, figure out complex equations, along with allowing us to make decisions on how fast to drive, fly, run and more, all based on the results of counting. In our daily lives, there are many things that we would not be able to do or start if we couldn’t count or calculate numbers.
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.
