  1. Finger Counting Fun: Use your fingers to explore the number 10. Ask a friend or family member to call out a number between 0 and 10. Show that number using your fingers on one hand, and then figure out how many more fingers you need to make 10. For example, if they say 3, show 3 fingers and then add 7 more to make 10. Try this with different numbers and see how quickly you can find the answer!
