Let’s understand the idea.
- A numeral is a written number. It tells how many are in a set.
- An empty tray has zero counters. We write 0.
- Count each counter once, then write the total. Try writing it on your scribble pad, too.
Something to notice
Observe numeral writing from 0 to 20 on paper or the pad. Typed answers show numeral knowledge; handwriting is not automatically judged.
Try it. Change it. Explain it.
Open the lesson to use its pictures and controls. In How it works, connect the picture to the idea. In Play & discover, change the quantities and notice what stays the same. In Your turn, answer questions and use the explanation to check your reasoning.
You can ask for help, draw on the thinking pad, or listen to the question and answer options. Progress distinguishes independent work from work completed with help.
