Natural Numbers

Natural numbers are positive whole numbers: ,[object Object]

The number line

We can represent numbers on a line:

0 — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — 6 — 7 — 8 — 9 — 10

Comparing numbers

We use symbols:

  • •[object Object], : less than (3 < 7)
  • •[object Object], : greater than (9 > 4)
  • [object Object], : equal to (5 = 5)

Rounding numbers

Round to the nearest ten:

  • •If units digit is ,[object Object], → round down, ,[object Object],
  • •If units digit is ,[object Object], → round up, ,[object Object],
