How did people count in earlier times?

Besides the regular public tours of the Arithmeum’s collection at 11 am and of the art exhibition at 3 pm, there will be special thematic guided tours for families on all four Sundays during advent. These tours will take about one hour and are meant to give families with children starting school next year or older the opportunity of discovering the exciting world of mathematics and art in a simple way.

How did people count in earlier times? How do we count today? Children and parents will be introduced to different techniques of counting, and learn to understand aids people used to simplify counting. Some of these techniques can still be helpful today.
