How ColorMyMath teaches it

A number is a quantity you can see: that many colored dots, one fixed color per digit, and a ten is ten dots in a triangle. Counting here is counting things that are really there, up and back down in the same round.

Every page is free and open — nothing to install, no account, and it works on a phone or a classroom board. Every number has its own color: 1 red, 2 orange, 3 yellow, 4 green, 5 blue, 6 purple, 7 brown, 8 pink, 9 cyan, and a number is that many colored dots.
