Imagine you're playing with blocks. You might like stacking them in groups of 7, or find that 3 is your favorite number to count on your fingers. Some numbers just feel more special than others, and it's not magic, it’s how our brain works! Simple patterns and familiar things help make some numbers stand out from the rest.
Examples
- You always count your cookies by groups of 7, because that’s how many you eat every day.
- The number 2 stands out on a clock, and it's the only even prime number.
