We ACT to deal with the outside world.         
We MATH to deal with the natural fact MANY ???
Oops, sorry, MATH is not an action word!
We COUNT & ADD to Master MANY.

• BundleCount & ReCount:

T = 7 = I I I I I I I = III  III  I = 2B1 3s = 2.1 3s 
T = 2B1 3s = 1B4 3s = 3B-2 3s    (Overload or Underload)
T = 2B1 3s = 1B2 5s = 3B1 2s = 1BB1B1 2s
T = 3×8 = 3 8s = 2B6 9s = 2B4 tens, or the sloppy version 24
T = 336 /7 = 33B6 /7 = 28B56 /7 = 4B8 = 48

Counting gives a decimal number with a unit (a natural number).
Adding OnTop, a Total may be ReCounted to shift the unit.
Adding NextTo, means Integration of areas.

• Add OnTop & Add NextTo:

        T1+T2 = 1B2 3s + 4B5 6s = 0B5 6s + 4B5 6s = 5B4 6s
        T1+T2 = 1B2 3s + 4B5 6s = 3B7 9s  or  3B4 tens = 34

The CATS approach to MATH: Count & Add in Time & Space

Primary school:       C1 & A1 & T1 & S1
Secondary school:  C2 & A2 & T2 & S2
