Numeral system

Numeral systems are like a way of counting things. They give us symbols that represent numbers so we can count how many of something there is. For example, in our numeral system, the symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are used to represent numbers. So if you want to say you have three apples, you could use the numeral system and write 3.
