Counting is the foundation of all math! Here's how to master counting to 20:
🎯 Counting Tips: • Start at 1 and go one number at a time • Each number is exactly one more than the number before it • Practice counting forward AND backward • Use your fingers for 1-10, then imagine more fingers for 11-20!
📊 Number Groups to Remember: • 1-5: Count on one hand • 6-10: Count on two hands • 11-15: One hand plus one hand plus one more hand (up to 5) • 16-20: Two full hands (10) plus another full hand (5) plus a few more
🎨 Visual Helpers: Imagine a number line: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20 Each number has its own special spot!
