What is the Smallest Number - Zero or One? July 21

I was reading a post today on Bongo Mirror’s Reflections and Bongo Mirror was discussing the fact that a couple years ago she was reading a book that stated that Preschoolers would defend the fact that 1 (one) is the smallest number. I found that hard to believe… after all I was sure that my Preschooler, who would be starting Kindergarten in the fall, knew that Zero (0) was the smallest number. So, I asked my daughter, “Hannah, I have a question for you… What is the smallest number?” To my surprise she answered, “One.” I was truly surprised. After all, I have discussed the number zero with Hannah many times since she was two while teaching her Preschool at Home. So, I said to Hannah, “One? What about Zero?” She then said, “Oh yeah!!” She got it. But, I was very surprised that Zero wasn’t her first answer. She didn’t defend that one is the smallest number, however it wasn’t her first choice.

So, I’m left to wonder if the book that Bongo Mirror was referring to is correct. Is it true that Preschoolers will usually defend that one is the smallest number? I thought I would take a poll with my viewers:

Ask your Preschooler what number is the smallest number…. what was your child’s answer? Let me know by commenting to this post.
