The Numberverse will take you on a journey into the world of numbers, which are everywhere: over our heads, under our feet, and all around us. We will look at stuff you find all around you: in the walls, in church arches, in pine cones and in petals. Continue looking and numbers will start jumping out at you, patterns will appear before your eyes, and you will see the secrets opening up to you. Would you like to know the history of zero and what did people do before zero was invented? How did people get along without fractions and percentages before they were invented? It's all in The Numberverse. Designed for primary and secondary teachers to use with children aged 7 13 years. The Numberverse takes you through a series of thought experiments, activities, stories and histories which build the foundations for a deep understanding (and maybe even love!) of math. If math has always been a closed book to you, now is the time to turn to the first page.
