Numbers & Counting
數字與數數
Numbers are everywhere. In this lesson you will learn what numbers are, how to count, how to compare numbers, and how place value works.
數字無處不在。在這一課,你會學習甚麼是數字、怎樣數數、怎樣比較數字,以及位值如何運作。
1 · What is a number?
甚麼是數字?
A number tells us how many things there are. We use digits from 0 to 9 to write numbers. The number 5 means five things.
數字告訴我們有多少東西。我們用 0 到 9 的數字符號來寫數字。數字 5 代表五樣東西。
2 · Counting
數數
Counting means saying numbers in order: one, two, three, and so on. We count to find out how many things there are. Count each thing once and do not miss any.
數數是指按順序讀出數字:一、二、三……我們數數來找出有多少東西。每樣東西數一次,不要漏掉。
3 · Comparing numbers
比較數字
We can compare numbers. 7 is bigger than 3. 2 is smaller than 5. The symbol greater than (>) means bigger, and less than (<) means smaller.
我們可以比較數字。7 比 3 大。2 比 5 小。大於符號(>)代表較大,小於符號(<)代表較小。
7 > 3 means "7 is greater than 3".
7 > 3 意思是「7 大於 3」。
4 · Place value
位值
In the number 25, the digit 2 is in the tens place and means 20, and the digit 5 is in the ones place and means 5. So 25 = 20 + 5.
在數字 25 中,數字 2 在十位,代表 20;數字 5 在個位,代表 5。所以 25 = 20 + 5。
