Once you know the alphabet, you put the letters together to make words, then sentences, then paragraphs and then stories.\r\n\r\nThose letters become the \u201ctools\u201d used to write everything.\r\n\r\nThe same is true for math. In math we use digits. The digits are:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"big\">0\u00a0\u00a0 1\u00a0\u00a0 2\u00a0\u00a0 3\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0\u00a0 5\u00a0\u00a0 6\u00a0\u00a0 7\u00a0\u00a0 8\u00a0\u00a0 9<\/span><\/p>\r\nDigits are named after our fingers. Our fingers are also called digits. The mathematics term comes from the days of counting on our fingers. We have ten fingers and there are ten digits. We use the letters of the alphabet to make up words, and we use digits to make up numbers. There are two ways to write numbers. You can write them as numerals. You can write them using word names.\r\n<table class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 50%\" border=\"0\"><caption>Two Ways to Write Numbers<\/caption>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th style=\"width: 50%\" scope=\"col\">Numeral<\/th>\r\n<th style=\"width: 50%\" scope=\"col\">Word Name<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">0<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">zero<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">1<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">one<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">2<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">two<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">3<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">three<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">4<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">four<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">5<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">five<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">6<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">six<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">7<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">seven<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">8<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">eight<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">9<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">nine<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\nCounting is matching the number name to the things being counted.

Our fingers are also called digits. The mathematics term comes from the days of counting on our fingers. We have ten fingers and there are ten digits. We use the letters of the alphabet to make up words, and we use digits to make up numbers. There are two ways to write numbers. You can write them as numerals. You can write them using word names.<\/p>\n<table class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 50%\">\n<caption>Two Ways to Write Numbers<\/caption>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 50%\" scope=\"col\">Numeral<\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 50%\" scope=\"col\">Word Name<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">zero<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">1<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">one<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">2<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">two<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">3<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">three<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">4<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">four<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">5<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">five<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">6<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">six<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">7<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">seven<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">8<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">eight<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">9<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\">nine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Counting is matching the number name to the things being counted.
