Companion summary
Have you ever counted the legs on a spider — all eight of them scurrying along? When you share eight strawberries equally between two friends, you each get four — maths helps make things fair! Eight is a special number because if you fold it in half, both sides match perfectly — just like the digit itself. When you feel ready, try drawing eight dots and splitting them into different equal groups to see what you find.
Wake up your fingers!
Wake up your fingers!
Hold up all ten fingers. Now fold down two fingers. Count the fingers still up. That is eight!
