media type="custom" key="13589636" If you count numbers you will never stop. You can go on and on and never stop. When you use numbers you are doing math. And when you do math you are using shapes, and shapes are different kinds of lines. A lot of people use shapes and numbers. They are things you need to know to have jobs and stay alive. There are so many numbers and what's weird is you may use them every day and never know that you use them.

Street signs are shapes that some people forget are even shapes. They forget this because they just read what is on it. Some say funny things, but some signs say important things like the speed limit. Next time your parents are driving you somewhere, remember to look at the shape the sign is too. Did you know that when you play sports you are playing with different shapes? For example, when you play croquet the end of the mallet is a rectangle. Also, if you look at a soccer ball when you kick it has a bunch of different hexagons on it. Next, if you have ever seen or played lacrosse than you may have seen that at the end of the stick there is a triangle. In addition, if you have seen a basket ball hoop then you know they shoot into hoops. Lastly, if you watch baseball you will see that they play on a big diamond. So remember, the next time you play a sport see what shape you're using.



You can find shapes in the classroom too! When you write with a pencil, you can see that the tip is a triangle. Also, the computer screens which most classrooms have are a square. Next, in a classroom, the teachers roll up paper and that is the shape of a circle. Last, every time you go out of the classroom you walk through a door which is rectangular. Remember these the next time you are in a classroom. Now that you know where some shapes can be found, it's time to find the numbers in everyday life. For example, if you have a phone and you need to call someone, you need to know their phone number by using a bunch of digits. You also use numbers when you are using a stop watch to time someone. Next, if you need help on a math question then you may use a calculator, which you put numbers into to do math for you. Lastly, you always see numbers when you're on the Internet to see what zoom percent you are on, the page number that you are on, and what time it is.

There are more numbers in more places! Really, you can find numbers anywhere you look. For example, if you look at a speed limit sign you will see numbers. Also, you might see on a poster or bill board the date of something, which is using numbers. Next you might be able to see numbers on houses, so you can find it easier. Last, when you work and get money on your paycheck, you will see numbers that tell you how much the money is worth. So now you know where you can find numbers by just looking around! Now it's time you know where you can find numbers in school. You can find them in the cafeteria when kids put in their lunch id numbers. Next, when you do work, you have to put the date on every piece paper. The date is using numbers to tell you what day it is of what month it is of what year it is. Last, in school you call classes by a number so you know what period it is. Now you know were you can find some numbers in a school!

Math is everywhere - it's crazy. I think it is funny because everything is made of math. I had so much fun with you, and remember all the different shapes and numbers I told you about. Try to find them and more math in your day. Remember, math is infinite!
