State

The natural numbers are the counting numbers 1, 2, 3, and so on; the whole numbers are the natural numbers plus zero.

Show

Counting the coins in a jar uses natural numbers; reporting an empty jar takes zero — a whole number that counts nothing.

Watch for

Zero is a whole number, not a natural number.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
