The Role of Numbers in Our Daily Lives
1
Counting and Basic
Operations
Numbers help us organize
tasks through counting and
basic operations to solve
everyday problems.
2
Practical Applications
We use numbers daily -
telling time, calculating costs,
measuring ingredients,
understanding distances, and
tracking scores.
3
Mathematical Thinking
Numbers develop logical
thinking, pattern recognition,
and problem-solving skills
valuable in all aspects of life.

Numbers Can Tell Us
Things
The School
Race Scenario
Students in a
race display
numbers
indicating their
relative
positions.
The Counting
System
Students show
'0' if no
neighbors are
faster, '1' if one
is faster, and '2'
if both are
faster.
Neighbor
Comparison
This creates a
numerical
pattern
representing
relative speeds
among adjacent
runners.

Supercells and Number Patterns
What is a Supercell?
A supercell is a number in a grid that exceeds
all adjacent numbers (left, right, above, and
below).
Example: In the grid [45, 78, 92, 31, 60], 92 is
a supercell if it's greater than its neighbors 78
and 31.
Numbers on a Number Line
Number lines help visualize relative values.
For instance, 2180 falls between 2000 and
3000, while 9950 sits very close to 10,000.
Other examples: 3050 (just past 3000), 5030
(just past 5000), and 8400 (between 8000
and 9000).

Playing with Digits
1-Digit Numbers
These are the numbers from 1 to 9, so there are 9 one-digit numbers.
2-Digit Numbers
These numbers range from 10 to 99. To find how many: 99 - 10 + 1 = 90. So there are 90 two-digit numbers.
3-Digit Numbers
These numbers range from 100 to 999. Calculation: 999 - 100 + 1 = 900. So there are 900 three-digit numbers.
4-Digit Numbers
These numbers range from 1000 to 9999. Calculation: 9999 - 1000 + 1 = 9000. So there are 9000 four-digit
numbers.
5-Digit Numbers
These numbers range from 10,000 to 99,999. Calculation: 99,999 - 10,000 + 1 = 90,000. So there are 90,000
five-digit numbers.
