+Context also provides convenient methods for incrementing or decrementing a given key. Both of these methods accept at least one argument: the key to track. A second argument may be provided to specify the amount by which the key should be incremented or decremented:
+
+```php
+Context::increment('records_added');
+Context::increment('records_added', 5);
+
+Context::decrement('records_added');
+Context::decrement('records_added', 5);
+```
