Frequently asked questions
▶What does this counting lab do?
It helps you count from 0 up to 10, just like raising your fingers one by one. Move the slider and the screen shows that many fingers. It is a fun first step into numbers for little learners.
▶How do I use the counting slider?
Touch the slider and slide it right to add more fingers, or left to take some away. The number on screen updates as you slide. Try saying each number out loud as the fingers appear.
▶When do we count in real life?
When Amma asks you to count chapatis on the plate, or count mangoes in a basket, you use the same skill. Counting your friends in the park or counting steps to climb is also the same idea.
▶Did you know about counting?
People have counted on fingers for thousands of years, which is why we use base 10. Most humans have 10 fingers, and that is the easiest set of small numbers to remember and show to others.
