Welcome, it’s Monday and as we begin a new week I wanted to bring you a new Homeschooling Resource from Tanya Khovanova’s Blog. I thought this website would be fun for Charlie because he can see what’s inside specific numbers.
Age Range: All (All grades; children with parental supervision)
This website is all about a mathematician named Tanya Khovanova having fun with numbers. She has worked tirelessly to create a terrific search engine that will fascinate you with the results it produces.
Just type your favorite number (or any number up to 9999) into the search engine, and within seconds the results will identify every unique, rare, and common property that is true of the number in question (meticulously researched by Khovanova and friends).When you get to the site, type in a number (the day of your birth, for example) and find out which of the many properties archived here applies. For instance, discover if the number you selected has any of these properties:
- abundant
- apocalyptic power
- cake
- cube
- deficient
- evil
- Fibonacci
- hungry
- lucky
- narcissistic
- odious
- palindrome
- repunit
- sociable
- tetrahedral
- twin
- untouchable
- weird
Are these words you would “normally” use to describe a number? If you’re confused, click on the property and discover what it means. In all likelihood, it will get those synapses firing and springboard you into fascinating conversations about math and its usefulness in the world around you.Be sure to click on any linked words within the descriptions to learn more astounding, fun and fascinating facts about numbers and math.
Please keep in mind that we have NOT reviewed the websites linked to the number property descriptions.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
