Number:
A number is a count or measurement that is really an idea in our minds.
We write or talk about numbers using numerals such as "4" or "four".
But we could also hold up 4 fingers, or tap the ground 4 times.
These are all different ways of referring to the same number.
There are also special numbers (like π (Pi)) that can't be written exactly, but are still numbers because we know the idea behind them.
