Imagine you're a farmer, and instead of counting sheep with numbers, you use pebbles in your hand. That’s like how some ancient people counted without numbers, they used objects or marks to keep track of things.
Examples
- A farmer uses stones on his lap to count how many animals he has each day.
- A trader ties a knot for every bag of grain he sends across the river.
- A child draws lines on the ground to keep track of their toys.
