Numbers are symbols we use to count, measure, and label things. They help us understand how many of something there is.
You say 'numbers' like this: num-bers. The first part sounds like 'num' and the second part sounds like 'bers'.
The word 'numbers' comes from the Latin word 'numerus', which means 'a number' or 'a count'.
The word 'numbers' in Hindi is 'संख्याएँ' (Saṅkhyāeṅ).
The word 'numbers' in Kannada is 'ಸಂಖ್ಯೆಗಳು' (Saṅkhyegaḷu).
Numbers are like colorful butterflies, fluttering all around us! Just like in Eric Carle's beautiful books, we can count them one by one.
One butterfly, two butterflies, three butterflies! Each number is special, just like each color.
When we count, we can see how many friends we have, how many toys we play with, or how many yummy snacks we can share.
So, let’s go on a number adventure! Can you count the stars in the sky or the flowers in the garden?
Remember, every number tells a story, just waiting for you to discover!
