Number

Grades K–5

Definition

A number is a value that tells how many or how much of something there is. Numbers can be used for counting, measuring, and labeling.

Numbers are everywhere around us. The pages in a book, the score in a game, and the price of a toy all use numbers.

Examples

  • There are 3 apples on the table.
  • 12 is a number with two digits.
  • 100 is a three-digit number.
