Math Way of Number Naming
• Only 11 words are needed to count to 100
the math way, 28 in English. (All Indo-
European languages are non-standard in
number naming.)
• Asian children learn mathematics using the
math way of counting.
• They understand place value in first grade;
only half of U.S. children understand place
value at the end of fourth grade.
• Mathematics is the science of patterns. The
patterned math way of counting greatly
helps children learn number sense.

• Just as reciting the alphabet doesn‟t teach
reading, counting doesn‟t teach arithmetic.
• Just as we first teach the sound of the letters,
we must first teach the name of the quantity
(math way).
