We publish this site for browsing and linking ideas to physical objects. The aim is to provide adults with number-clarity and confidence. This will enable carers to help their infants to have a complete understanding of numbers as they progress through life from infancy. Eventually the "magic" of mathematics will become clear. Browse on!
This site explains the abstractions used worldwide for handling quantity — a system that is widely used but not always fully understood.
We begin with the basics. Some visitors will already understand parts of this; others may be encountering these ideas for the first time. You are encouraged to move freely and focus on what is useful to you.
For parents and carers: children do not automatically understand the numerical system. They must build that understanding step by step. This site aims to support that process.
