How it works

Look at them all at once. How many?

Small numbers like 2 and 3 you can see without counting.

If you can't tell, count them one by one.

1 × 5 = 5
5 dots: see them as a group.

Example 1: A quick look

  1. You see 2 flowers.
  2. Look once without counting.
  3. You know there are 2.

Example 2: A bigger group

  1. You see 5 apples scattered.
  2. Look at them in groups: 3 and 2.
  3. 3 + 2 = 5.

Example 3: Check

  1. Count them one by one.
  2. Touch each apple once.
  3. The last number is 5.
