Point 5 of 5

1.1.5 How many vs. which one (count vs. position)

Core idea

'There are 3 people' tells you how many, while 'you're 3rd in line' tells you where — same 3, different meaning

Module goal. Build the most basic number sense: counting means pairing each thing with a number, and the last number you say tells you how many there are in all
