Numbers

Numbers are important in life. We would not go anywhere if life without knowing the basics of numbers. At The Evolution of Numbers | Math is Fun, it explains what numbers are (and other mathematical concept on their website).

Now, I want you to choose a number. What type of number is the number you chose? Is it a whole number? Is it a counting number? Is it a natural number? Is it an integer? Is it a real number? Is it a rational number or an irrational number? Is it a prime number or composite number? Is it a perfect square? Is it an even number or an odd number? Yes, there are many types of numbers! I probably forgot something. Of course you can continue to learn at Khan Academy, Math is Fun, Math.com, or any other website that focuses on mathematics. Have fun exploring numbers!!!

Ladybug Theme

Ladybug, ladybug, ladybugs everywhere! We all know this cute insect as a ladybug. It is called a ladybug, a lady beetle, or ladybird (in Britain). If you have plants or weeds, the you have one happy bug. They are hunting for bugs to eat. Having these fun ladybugs around is excellent for the environment, your health, and the health of the ones around you. If you let nature take over then there will not be all the bad pesticides that harms everything. Save your environment (and yourself and others) by having ladybugs in your garden.

Here are some photos I took.
