What is 10 fingers?

10 fingers means you have ten separate parts on your hands that you can use to count or grab things.

Imagine you're holding a bag of cookies. You can use one finger to point at the first cookie, another for the second, and so on until you’ve used all ten fingers, just like when you’re counting in class!

• Each hand has five fingers.
• When you put both hands together, that makes ten fingers total.

Think of your fingers like little helpers. If you're trying to count how many toys are on the floor, each finger can be a helper pointing at one toy. When all ten helpers are used, that means there are ten toys!

You use your fingers every day, when you wave goodbye, when you hold your phone, or even when you play with blocks. They’re like tiny tools right on your hands!
