The Number Devil - Project

The Number Devil: A Mathematical Adventure by Hans Magnus Enzensberger is a fantastic book for middle and high school students. This project provides a guideline of activities that students can do while reading The Number Devil to extend their learning.

About the book: In twelve dreams, Robert, a boy who hates math, meets a Number Devil, who leads him to discover the amazing world of numbers: infinite numbers, prime numbers, Fibonacci numbers, numbers that magically appear in triangles, and numbers that expand. As we dream with him, we are taken further and further into mathematical theory, where ideas eventually take flight, until everyone, from those who fumble over fractions to those who solve complex equations in their heads, winds up marveling at what numbers can do.
