numbers which we use everyday. note: you will notice that the 7 has a line through the middle of it. That was the way the Arabic 7 was originally written, and in Europe and certain other areas they still write the 7 that way (I remember my German teacher did). Also, in the military, they commonly write it that way. The nine has a kind of curly tail on it that has been reduced, for the most part nowadays, to a simple curve, but the logic involved still applies.

This doesn't work as well as the PowerPoint which had the arrows move in one at a time that someone emailed me, but it gets the point across, errors and all. You can always step through using the arrows and move slower than Play.
How numerals 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 got their shape.
Do you know why numbers look like they do? Someone, at some point in time, had to create their shapes and meaning.
Watch this short presentation and then you will know how our Arabic numbers were originally created a very long time ago and what
logic the people that created them used to determine their shapes. It is really very simple and quite creative!!
You have to admire the intelligence of a person or people that created something so simple and perfect that it has lasted for thousands and
thousands of years and will probably never change?
When the presentation gets to the number "seven" you will notice that the 7 has a line through the middle of it. That was the way the Arabic 7 was originally written, and in Europe and certain other areas they still write the 7 that way. Also, in the military, they commonly write it that way.

This is an interesting presentation about the numbers, how they were created. I don't know the source of this file, but found it as an email and thought slideshare would be best!

2. The numbers we write are made up of algorithms, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) called Arabic algorithms , to distinguish them from Roman algorithms (I, II, III, IV, etc.). 1 2 4 5
3. 1 2 4 5 The arabs popularized these algorithms, but their origin goes back to the Phoenecian merchants who used them to count and do their commercial accounting.
4. 1 2 4 5 Have you ever asked the question why “one” is 1, “two” is 2, “three” is 3...?
5. 1 2 4 5 What is the logic that existed in the arabic algorithms?
