We found out that “zero” is the only number not represented in roman numerals. We googled fun maths facts. There were quite a few. Some were very hard to understand!
Thanks for sharing this Oliver! I saw some very difficult ones too! The Fibonacci one is the one I can’t believe appears so much in nature. It’s crazy!
1.The word “hundred ” comes from the old Norse, “hundrath”, witch actually means 120 not 1oo.
2.In a room of 23 people ther’s 50% chance that two people have the same birthday.
3. Most mathematical symbols weren’t invented until the 16th century. Before that,equations were written in words.
4.”Forty”is the only number that is spelt with letters arranged in alphabetical order.
5.From 0 to 1,000 the only number that has the letter ” a ” in it is ” one thousand”.
6.Every odd number has a “e” in it.
On the internet I searched up 6 cool math facts.

WOW! I never knew that 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 – That’s an amazing answer!
I love the tower it makes!
1×1=1
11×11=121
111×111=12,321
1111×1111=1,234,321
11111×11111=123,454,321
and so on….
I’ve enjoyed doing fraction maths today from White Rose Maths (https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-4/)
Brilliant James, well done! Sounds like you are keeping super busy!
I’m pleased you liked the facts!
