Count forward from any number

Counting forward from any given whole number within 0–120 means identifying each successive number as one greater than the previous number, without restarting at 1; this includes continuing across decade boundaries such as 29, 30, 31. A number line and written numerals represent the ordered sequence and support later understanding of addition, place value, and numerical magnitude; negative numbers, fractions, and unrestricted larger numbers are not included.

Detailed Explanation: Count forward from any number

To count forward, say the next number each time. The next number is always 1 more than the number before it. Keep going from the number you are given—do not start at $1$ .

Example: Count forward from $27$ to $32.

Start at $27$ :

27,\ 28,\ 29,\ 30,\ 31,\ 32

Step by step:

After $27$ comes $28$ .
After $28$ comes $29$ .
After $29$ comes $30$ .
After $30$ comes $31$ .
After $31$ comes $32$ .

Notice that counting continues across the decade boundary: $29$ comes before $30$ .
