One more than a number is just the next number you say.
Step 1: Let's Learn
Read it, or press Listen and follow the words.
Hop along the path
On a number path, one more is one square forward. One less is one square back.
Marker
You do not go back to 1. You already know where you are.
Why it is the next number
Adding one object moves you one step along the counting words. Those are the same move, which is why you never need to recount.
Every number sits between two
Seven has six below and eight above. Knowing both neighbours means you can move either way without starting over.
Step 2: Try It Yourself
Hop one square and say the number.
Step 3: Watch an Example
Watch a hop, then predict the next.
Watch Leo Hop
Leo has the marker on 7. He wants one more.
- Step 1
He does not start at 1. He starts where the marker is: 7.
Step 4: Your Turn
Practice makes it stick.
