Have you ever thought how the World would be without Numbers?

People always think that numbers (and math) can make things seem more complicated. Some students gasp at the very mention of math because they see numbers and it all seems overwhelming. Yes, being a teacher and one who has a passion for math, I strongly believe in the importance of not only learning “how to do” math but learning how to love math. There is nothing more satisfying for a teacher AND a student than grasping that math concept. Once a student understands a concept, they can whiz through all those math problems and feel a sense of accomplishment. I want to teach students that math and numbers do not make things more complicated…in fact, math (and numbers) actually makes this world much easier!

Have a look at this short funny tale of a world without numbers "NoNumbers Land" and let me know your thoughts. How would your world be different without numbers?
