What is seven?

Seven is the number you count when you have six things and add one more.

Imagine you're playing with your toys. You have six blocks stacked up high, that's like having six fingers on one hand. Now, if you put one more block on top, you’re making a tower of seven! That’s how we use the number seven in our everyday lives, to count things, like how many cookies are left in the jar or how many claps you make before you go to bed.

If you draw seven circles on paper, it looks like this: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●. That's seven little round shapes, just like seven candies in a row, one after another, all waiting for you to eat them!

You can also think of the number seven as being like the days of the week. There are seven days from Monday to Sunday. So every time you go to school or have a fun day out, that’s part of the special number seven world!
