Supporting Ukraine With Numbers!

Over 20 United Help Ukraine staff and volunteers arrived at the NumbersAlive! warehouse with an empty 53-ft container on September 23, 2022 and left full with over 700 shipping boxes of NumbersAlive!’s unique wood puzzles and soft & cuddly math learning tools for teachers and children in eastern Ukraine. Teachers and children began receiving the learning tools at the end of November 2022.

“Thank you for trusting our organization with your wonderful toys. The NumbersAlive toys have brought joy, warmth, and happiness to so many children in Ukraine this Holiday Season! Seeing the kids holding a number and smiling is priceless.”
– Maryna Baydyuk, Head of United Help Ukraine

Most of the articles believe pi is actually part of the design of the pyramids through the use of a circle. Phi, however, was likely unknown by the Egyptians at the time of the building of the great pyramids. Phi appears not as part of the original design, but “after the fact” due to its own mathematical properties and relationship to pi. Notice that you can construct a right-angled triangle with sides, 1 square root of phi and hypotenuse phi. See attached picture. This mathematical characteristic likely have given rise to phi hiding in the dimensions of the great pyramids. But nobody knows for sure. A few links to a discussion (none endorsed by NumbersAlive!) follow. Do your own research and know that there is a lot written on this topic!
