When you get to the number  six you will have to explain that there is not enough room on the number to place six dots.  At this time you will need to explain the  concept of having a "double dot":  a larger dot with a smaller dot  in the center of it.  Demonstrate  that you count this "dobule dot" as two - Touch the "double dot"  twice as you count it: one, two.  There will be three sets of double dots on six.  Count each dot twice.
