Numbers
1. Numbers
Having ten digits, five on each hand, seems like a good reason to count, as we do, in multiples of ten, and did you know that digit is another word for number?
Numbers can be positive (greater than 0), for example, 3 (three, or plus 3) or negative (less than 0) for example -3 (minus 3).
Our 'Base 10' system uses ten digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), combined with place values, to represent any number.
