Such a task in a modern elementary school is already received by first-graders. Which is not surprising, on the one hand, because right now they are getting acquainted with numbers and numbers. In addition, children need to understand where mathematical knowledge is used in life.
But, on the other hand, “Numbers in riddles, proverbs, sayings” is a rather complicated topic for a first-grader.
Here are some tips to help you complete this task well.
What is the difference between a number and a number?
This issue may be the beginning of the project. Answering him, the student will get acquainted with new information. He learns that puzzles with the number 1 are different from puzzles with a unit, for example.

Times have changed and are changing. It is known that in the cultures of various nations there were counting systems, which consisted of a different number of numbers than what was usual for us. For instance:
- two;
- five;
- seven;
- eight;
- twelve;
- sixteen;
- twenty.
And in languages such as Hebrew, Church Slavonic, Ancient Greek, numbers were denoted by letters.
The math is around us. Mystery numbers
Starting to study mathematics, children first get to know the numbers. To learn all of them, from zero to nine, puzzles about numbers will help.
