History of Mathematics
It was interesting to find out that in each country everyone had used a different way to use and solve math in their everyday lives. I never knew that it took over 800 yrs for them to put in real numbers that we now use today.I now understand how they use fractions when they want to share something like a loaf of bread. they started making subtraction and addition and multiplication symbols. they used roman numerals too.

I know there way of doing math is like our way of writing if you think about it.No way 800 years to get really numbers thats like 6 life times.Do you really understand fractions i dont even kniwe how to split a big pack of oreao's. I think you maake a valid point those aare things we should know. I probably would have never known about these different ways math was created or usedd.
