Friendly numbers are ones we feel close to, like 10 or 20. Imagine you have a box of cookies, if you split them evenly among your friends and no one feels left out, that’s a friendly number! Like sharing 12 cookies with 3 friends: everyone gets 4, that’s fair and fun, so 12 is a friendly number too.
Examples
- A clock has 12 hours, that's a friendly number for telling time.
