いみ/meaning: eight
くんよみ/Japanese reading: やっ-つ [yat-tsu]
オンヨミ/Chinese reading: シチ/ハッ- [hachi/ha-]
かくすう/stroke count: 2

八日 (よう・か) [you・ka] the eighth day
八月 (はち・がつ) [hachi・gatsu] August
八年 (はち・ねん) [hachi・nen] eight years

Note: Do not confuse 四日 (よっか) [yokka] and 八日 (ようか) [youka]. The former has that short silence while the latter has a long "o" sound.

いみ/meaning: nine
くんよみ/Japanese reading: ここの-つ [kokono-tsu], ここの [kokono]
オンヨミ/Chinese reading: ク/キュウ [ku/kyuu]
かくすう/stroke count: 2
Let's Learn Japanese! - Page 2 A29
Example words:
九つ (ここの・つ) [kokono・tsu] nine (things)
九日 (ここの・か) [kokono・ka] the ninth day
九月 (く・がつ) [ku・gatsu] September
九百 (きゅう・ひゃく) [kyuu・hyaku] 900

Note: Much like 4, 9 sounds like something bad.  As 4 sounded like death, 9 [ku] sounds like "suffering" (if I recall correctly).  So the Japanese often say [kyuu] instead of [ku], with the major exception being the month 九月 [kugatsu].

いみ/meaning: ten
くんよみ/Japanese reading: とお [too]
オンヨミ/Chinese reading: ジュウ [jyuu], ジッ-/ジュッ- [ji-/jyu-]
かくすう/stroke count: 2
Let's Learn Japanese! - Page 2 A30
Example words:
十 (とお) [too] ten (things)
十日 (とお・か) [too・ka] the tenth day
十月 (じゅう・がつ) [jyuu・gatsu] October
十年 (じゅう・ねん) [jyuu・nen] ten years

We can now count up to 99 in Japanese. To continue past 10, just start putting characters together:
十一 [jyuuichi] 11
十二 [jyuuni] 12
十三 [jyuusan] 13
etc.

To go past 19:
二十 [nijyuu] 20
二十一 [nijyuuichi] 21
三十五 [sanjyuugo] 35
七十八 [nanajyuuhachi] 78
四十九 [yonjyuukyuu] 49

So the number before 十 indicates the number of tens.

We can now also say the days of the month. Note that the first 10 days use different pronunciations!
一日 (ついたち) [tsuitachi] 1st of the month
二日 (ふつか) [futsuka] 2nd of the month
三日 (みっか) [mikka] 3rd of the month
四日 (よっか) [yokka] 4th of the month
五日 (いつか) [itsuka] 5th of the month
六日 (むいか) [muika] 6th of the month
七日 (なのか) [nanoka] 7th of the month
八日 (ようか) [youka] 8th of the month
九日 (ここのか) [kokonoka] 9th of the month
十日 (とおか) [tooka] 10th of the month
十一日 (じゅういちにち) [jyuuichinichi] 11th of the month
十二日 (じゅうににち) [jyuuninichi] 12th of the month
十三日 (じゅうさんにち) [jyuusannichi] 13th of the month
二十日 (にじゅうにち) [nijyuunichi] 20th of the month
三十一日 (さんじゅういちにち) [sanjyuuichinichi] 31st of the month

Also, we finished the months. The number of the month and 月 makes the month. So 一月 (いちがつ) [ichigatsu] is January and 十二月 (じゅうにがつ) [jyuunigatsu] is December.

いみ/meaning: ten thousand ; all, everything
くんよみ/Japanese reading: ---
オンヨミ/Chinese reading: マン [man]
かくすう/stroke count: 3
Let's Learn Japanese! - Page 2 A32
Example words:
一万円 (いち・まん・えん) [ichi・man・en] ten thousand yen
百万人 (ひゃく・まん・にん) [hyaku・man・nin] one million people

Note: In English we do not have a separate name for the "ten thousand" unit, and instead call it "ten" "thousand".  In Japanese, they have the unit 万 [man] for ten thousand.  Therefore what we call "hundred thousand" is 十万 [jyuuman] in Japanese, which is more like saying "ten" "ten thousand".  This makes translating higher numbers a bit more difficult.

We can no count up to 99,999,999.  Since this is plenty high enough (and the kanji for the higher denominations are far more complicated), we won't be going higher.

九千九百九十九万九百九十九 = 99,999,999

いみ/meaning: root, origin ; true, main
くんよみ/Japanese reading: もと [moto]
オンヨミ/Chinese reading: ホン [hon]
かくすう/stroke count: 5
Let's Learn Japanese! - Page 2 Ao13
Example words:
山本 (やま・もと) [yama・moto] Yamamoto (a Japanese surname)
本 (ほん) [hon] a book
本日 (ほん・じつ) [hon・jitsu] this day
本店 (ほん・てん) [hon・ten] the main office
日本 (に・ほん) [ni・hon] Japan

Note: Japan is written as the "origin of the sun" in Japanese.  This is because Japan is the furthest east of the Asian countries and the sun rose first there, making Asia believe it was the origin of the sun. Japan is also called the land of the rising sun, which is what is depicted on the country's flag.

Also, let us be careful of mixing up 木 and 本.  A good mnemonic: the addition of the extra horizontal line on the character for "tree" emphasizes the "root".
