Math number sense & anniversary
It’s a day with special numbers.
Our business was founded on 18 Jan 2010 when my eldest boy was a baby, so it’s our 14th anniversary.
When I moved to Kuala Lumpur to join the Daddy, I put aside my thriving career in Singapore and built a new one involving my children and education, especially math (my favourite subject).
This week also marks my 16th wedding anniversary.
Last night, at our quiet dinner date, I chose a soufflé for dessert.
It’s numbered 13937.
Me being me, I simply had to prime factorise it:
13937 = 7 x 11 x 181
Oh… all the prime factors are palindromes!
(A palindrome is a number that reads the same forwards or backwards.)
How about number bonds?
13937 = 10000 + 3900 + 37 = 10000 + (3 x 13 x 100) + 37 (prime)
Our lives are filled with numbers, regular and special ones.
By showing an interest in numbers and finding relationships among them, we can help our children be curious in math and build their number sense.
May you be filled with joy when supporting your child in math.
May your child be filled with joy when learning math.

Hi Reader It's November, my birthday month. Growing up, my birthday was usually during exams, so I hardly celebrated it on the actual day. I remember mugging for O-levels at home on my birthday when a friend, S, called. (Yes, those days when friends actually called to just chat.) S: Happy birthday, Carol! What are you doing today? Me: Studying for Geog paper. One of the best things about growing up is no more exams on birthdays. As usual, at the beginning of each month, I reviewed my Lifebook...

Hi Reader I'm back! For two years, I was immersed in studies -- Master of Education (Mathematics). This is something I've wanted to work on for about 10 years. Finally, I achieved it last June. After graduation, I caught up on reading, home organisation, and supporting my three children in their education. (The boys are already in high school.) Then I shaped the next stage of my business, moving it from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, since I'll be residing in KL for the long term. My...
