Check understanding
- Count backwards from 5 through zero: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, −1, −2 …
- Place negative numbers on a number line
- Understand that negative numbers are less than zero and use them in context (e.g. temperature)
“Can your child count backwards past zero into negative numbers — like 3, 2, 1, 0, −1, −2, −3 — without hesitating at zero?”
