Numbers can be like secret messages. Imagine you're playing with blocks and you stack them in different ways, sometimes it makes a neat pattern, other times it looks messy. Some people see the neat patterns inside numbers even when they look messy to others.
Examples
- A child counts blocks and notices they always make a triangle shape when stacked up to 6.
- A baker divides dough into portions and sees that some numbers always work better for equal sharing.
- A student plays with multiplication tables and spots repeated endings in the results.
