The big picture

Seven ideas, one line each.

• Counting: touch each thing once. The last count word is the answer.
• Number line: every number has one spot. Zero is first.
• Place value: a digit's place tells what it counts. Ten ones make a ten.
• Comparing: more digits is bigger. Same digits? Compare from the left.
• Zero: it can mean none. It can also hold a place.
• Shapes: count corners and edges to name a shape. Turning changes nothing.
• × and ÷: × counts equal groups fast. ÷ shares fairly. Any leftover is the remainder.
