The Einstein of the Chinese Mind Mathematical finger counting is a traditional and practical method of using fingers to perform basic arithmetic and understand numbers. It is often the first counting method taught to young children, allowing them to physically represent numbers from 1 to 10.

Typically, the left hand is used for numbers 1 to 5, while the right hand represents numbers 6 to 10. T
