What is Backward Counting?
- Backward counting is when we count numbers from a bigger number to a smaller number.
- For example, instead of counting up like "1, 2, 3," we might say "10, 9, 8."
- This helps us understand how to count down and helps with subtraction!
Examples:
- Counting down from 10:
- If you have 10 candies, you can count them down: "10, 9, 8, 7..." until you have none left!
- Countdown Timer:
- When you have a timer for a game, you might count down from 5: "5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
- That tells everyone when the game starts!
- Counting Floors in a Building:
- If you want to go down from the 5th floor, you could say: "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" as you walk down.
