This site has been created as a one-stop site where teachers and learners can get multi-media input for better understanding of Mathematical concepts.

This is a work in progress
The school at which I teach can not be held responsible for any of the content on my site.
for teachersI often prefer to start a new concept with Mahts is Fun. They set out the concepts clearly and cover basics in a learner-friendly way.

for learnersAt Curro Aurora we write a mini-test every Monday. Learners are then encouraged to visit my site to consolidate areas which they struggled with in the test.

Those ten simple symbols, digits, or numbers that we all learn early in life that influence our lives in far more ways than we could ever imagine. Have you ever wondered what our lives would be like without these 10 elegant digits and the infinite array of other numbers that they can create? Birthdays, ages, height, weight, dimensions, addresses, telephone numbers, license plate numbers, credit card numbers, PIN numbers, bank account numbers, radio/TV station numbers, time, dates, years, directions, wake up times, sports scores, prices, accounting, sequences/series of numbers, magic squares, polygonal numbers, factors, squares, cubes, Fibonacci numbers, perfect, deficient, and abundant numbers, and the list goes on ad infinitum. Engineers, accountants, store clerks, manufacturers, cashiers, bankers, stock brokers, carpenters, mathematicians, scientists, and so on, could not survive without them. In a sense, it could easily be concluded that we would not be able to live without them. Surprisingly, there exists an almost immeasurable variety of hidden wonders surrounding or emanating from these familiar symbols that we use every day, the natural numbers.

Over time, many of the infinite arrays, or patterns, of numbers derivable from the basic ten digits have been categorized or classified into a variety of number types according to some purpose that they serve, fundamental rule that they follow, or property that they possess. Many, if not all, are marvelously unique and serve to illustrate the extreme natural beauty and wonder of our numbers as used in both classical and recreational mathematics.
In the interest of stimulating a broader interest in number theory and recreational mathematics, this collection will endeavor to present basic definitions and brief descriptions for several of the number types so often encountered in the broad field of recreational mathematics. The number type descriptions that follow will not be exhaustive in detail as space is limited and some would take volumes to cover in detail. A list of excellent reading references is provided for those who wish to learn more about any specific number type or explore others not included. It is sincerely hoped that the material contained herein will stimulate you to read and explore further. I also hope that after reading, digesting, and understanding the material offered herein, that you will have enjoyed the experience and that you will never utter those terrible, unforgettable words, "I hate math."
