Detailed Explanation: Identify numbers between two values

To find the whole numbers between two numbers:

Start with the smaller number.
Count up by ones.
Stop before you reach the larger number.
Do not include the two numbers you started with.

Example: What whole numbers are between $34$ and $38$ ?

Count forward from $34$ :

34,\ 35,\ 36,\ 37,\ 38

The numbers in the middle are:

\boxed{35,\ 36,\ 37}

So, the whole numbers strictly between $34$ and $38$ are $35$ , $36$ , and $37$ .
