What is the Number Curiosities Application?

This application illustrates and animates interesting and fun facts

about numbers from 0 through 25. The application was inspired,

in part, by the book, Numbers: Facts, Figures, and Fiction, by

Richard Phillips.

The Number Curiosities application introduces students to four

types of information about numbers from 0-25:

•Whether the numbers are prime or composite, and how they

are factored

•Geometric facts

•Number sentences

•Real world facts

The Number Curiosities application is a concept application that

TI wants to share with our customers, educators, and students

before the product definition and testing are complete. It is an

alpha software version, and as such, it may contain

imperfections, or the coding may be incomplete.

TI invites your feedback concerning the functionality and

educational value of the Number Curiosities application. Please

send your comments and questions to [email protected].
