What comes after 39

Step by step

The question

Question: what comes after 39?

We write it in numbers.

The box is the number we want.

1 Find 39

Here is a number line.

2 Go one step right

We land on 40.

3 Write the number

So after 39 comes 40.

Careful!

After 9 ones, the ones start again at 0.

The tens go up by 1.

4 Check

We check it the other way.

Before 40 comes 39.

Yes!

It works.

Let's look back.

First: find 39.

Then: go one step right.

Then: write the number.

Last: check.
