1. There Is Only One Even Prime Number

The number 2 is also the smallest and first prime number (since every other even number is divisible by two).

2. The Square Root of Two Is Called "Pythagoras' Constant.

Surely, you remember the Pythagorean Theorem from your 10th grade geometry class, but have you ever heard of Pythagoras' Constant? Well, here's the lowdown: The square root of 2 (1.41) is known as Pythagoras' Constant. It's also the very first irraSonal number ever to be discovered.This all has to do with that Greek mathemaScian Pythagoras, and there is a fascinaSng history behind his famous theorem that they definitely did not teach you in high school—that Babylonian mathemaScians discovered his famous theory 1,000 years before he did!

3. Zero Is the Only Number That Can't Be Represented In Roman Numerals

There are a total of zero zeros in Roman numerals. While the ancient Greeks were aware of zero as a concept, they didn't consider zero to be a number at all. For example, Aristotle decided zero wasn't a number because you couldn't divide by zero. Instead of a Roman numeral, the LaSn word "nulla" would have been used to represent the concept of zero. The reason no numeral existed for zero is because there was no need for a numeral to represent it. hjps://bestlifeonline.com/number-facts/

Sound Waves Week 8 - v/ve and Week 9 -w/ wh/u

• v/ve is most frequently represented by the grapheme v (e.g. voice, river). • The grapheme ve represents v/ve at the end of words (e.g. give, leave). Words in English do not end with the grapheme v, apart from a few slang words (e.g. rev). • The grapheme f in the word of is an unusual way to represent v/ve. • W/wh/u is used at the start and in the middle of words, but never at the end of words (e.g. what, reward). • The grapheme u usually represents w/wh/u ader q or g (e.g. quit, square, penguin, language). • The grapheme wh for w/wh/u is most commonly used at the start of words (e.g. which, wheel).

Week 9 - oo/o

oo is most commonly represented by the graphemes oo and u (e.g. good, push). Unusual graphemes for oo used in high frequency words include oul, o and ou (e.g. could, would, should, woman, courier). oo is used in the middle of words, but never at the start or end of words (e.g. foot, butcher).
