Many often have difficulty counting, however with this simple technique you can always figure out what number comes after 9 on the numbers list. First start by counting each finger on your hand starting with the index finger if you are in North America, or the thumb if you are in Europe and start counting. The next number after 9 should be on the pinky which is 10! The number after 9 is 10.
The king was in the counting house counting all his money.
before i get started here's a helper fact: the finger counting is left to right. Like reading. Easy. Put up all your fingers. Look at them...look at them....now if your problem is 9 * 3. Then you would put down your third finger counting from the left. You should see now 2 fingers. then a space (the third finger you put down) and then 7 other fingers. Put those numbers together and....27! 9 * 3 = 27! Next example. 9 * 7. Put your hand up again. And put down your 7th finger down. counting from the left. You should see now 6 fingers. then a space (the 7th finger you put down) and then 3 other fingers. Put those numbers together and....63! 9 * 7 = 63! Now try some other numbers! It only goes up to 10 though. 11 * 9 = 99 and 12 * 9 = 108!

Maths goes back to the stone age. We first found out that cavemen were counting when we discovered a bone with carvings in, called the Ishango Bone. It had ten scrapes carved out neatly on different sides of the bone, as if a caveman was counting in tens.
