Maths: The history of number

This morning, Team Amin started to learn about the history of number. We explored the Ancient Egyptian method in particular and even had a go at writing and reading numbers written using this method. This was really exciting! We now know that the way humans have recorded number has been adapted and improved always across time. It has evolved to the modern method that we now use for number for which zero is very important. We will now be moving on to explore Roman numerals for the rest of the week!
