🐓🐓🐓Whole and Natural Numbers🐓🐓🐓

 Welcome 👦👧boys and girls. Today, we'll be exploring and learning about whole and natural numbers. Read all given definitions and examples of whole and natural numbers.  Please complete all given tasks below.

Whole numbers are numbers that start at 0 and go on forever:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4

So, whole numbers = 0, 1, 2, 3, …

Natural /Counting numbers are the counting numbers starting at 1 and going on forever:

1, 2, 3, 4....

So, natural numbers = 1, 2, 3, 4, …
