Welcome to The Number Garden!

Welcome! We’re glad you’re here!

The Number Garden is a new project from Paul Gafni, which has grown out of a few decades of teaching and learning mathematics.

The Number Garden is a space for mathematics to come alive, in the traditions of Martin Gardner, Douglas Hofstadter, Raymond Smullyan, John Conway, Vi Hart, Jean Kerr Stenmark, Virginia Thompson, Ruth Cossey, Peggy Kaye, James Tanton, Dan Finkel, Katherine Cook, Fawn Nguyen, Peter Liljedahl, and more.

The Number Garden is a resource hub and a learning center for students, parents, and teachers looking to bring mathematics to life, in order to improve enjoyment, engagement, and achievement.
