The positional aspect of a number is literally its position in relation to other numbers. For example on a number line. This positional aspect is important as it develops counting techniques: counting forward and backwards, counting on and back from different starting points and counting in steps of different sizes.
As a part of Maths curriculum, the students did counting on- on a number line. Different number cards were given to them, they read the number sentence on the card and jumped on the number line. For example: Start at 2 and count on 5. The student had to stand on number 2 and take 5 jumps to stand on number 7.
