Have you ever wondered why numbers appear so often in folklore? Especially 3, 7, 10, 100? It turns out that in ancient times numbers played an important role. Signs, fortune telling, and beliefs were based on them. Nowadays, number riddles are more likely to fall into the realm of entertaining mathematics. But some, compiled a long time ago, are not forgotten to this day.

Ancient sayings, riddles in numbers

One of the ancient mysteries was given to us by the legend about the founding of the city of Carthage.

• Dido bought the land from the king, explaining that she needed little. How many? How long does a cowhide take? Imagine the surprise of the Numidian king when Dido cut the skin into laces and laid it out on the ground. Later a fortress was built on this site. Question: what area did the fortress occupy if the area of ​​the skin was 4 square meters? m, and the width of the laces is 1 mm?

4 sq. m = 4 million sq. mm / 1 mm = 4000 m = 4 km. If you surround a square plot, its area will be exactly 4 km.

• Ancient Rus' gave the following saying: “Eh, ma! If only there was so much money!” Question: how long is darkness?

In the Slavic number system, letters denoted numbers. The unit is A. If you circle it, it will be 10,000. This number was called “darkness”.

• Ancient Babylon left us this riddle: the length and a quarter of the width are 7 palms. Length and width - 10 palms. How much are the length and width separately?

Let's denote the width as X and the length as Y of the palms. Then: X / 4 + Y = 7, X + Y = 10. Express X through Y: X = 10 - Y. Replace X in the first equation: (10 - Y) / 4 + Y = 7. Y = 6. Now Let's substitute this solution into the first equation: (X / 4) + 6 = 7, X = 4.

Folk wisdom, signs, humor

• Three brothers were walking, went for a swim, lost their sandals, searched all over the bushes: there were six, they found eight.
• We serve seven different dishes, only in all of them they give radish: one - with kvass, the second - with meat, the third - with butter, the fourth - grated, the fifth - crumpled, the sixth - steamed, the seventh - plain.
• Whether it’s spring or autumn, there are eight weather conditions in one day.
• Everyone at the wedding was tipsy, even though the water was still on the water.
• If you can kill just one vice in yourself, then ten virtues can grow.
• There was only one ox per seven, and even that one was small, lame, hornless and naked, and there were ten constables and a hundred horseless ones.
• A thousand painted candles cannot replace one real one.
• Lost five, but found seven.
• The fox will guide seven wolves.

At a math lesson

If the teacher asked such interesting problems, then mathematics would be my favorite lesson. Riddles with numbers:

• In a store, a merchandiser first increased the price of purchased goods by 100%, and at the end of the week reduced it by 50%. How has the price changed compared to the purchase price?

The price became equal to the purchase price because it was first multiplied by 2 and then divided by 2.

• Two stores announced discounts: in the first - 20%, and in the second - 10%. Having learned that competitors had lower prices, the second store announced that it was reducing prices by another 10%. Question: which store is more profitable to buy from?

In the first store, the price including a 20% reduction = 8/10 of the previous price. But the second store carried out this operation twice. Therefore, its price is 9/10 from 9/10 of the previous one. Or 0.9 x 0.9 = 0.81 of the previous one. It is more profitable to buy in the first store.

For babies

To make mathematics interesting for kids - numbers in riddles and sayings:

• One is Mr. /rooster/ in the chicken coop.
• At-two - grief is not a problem /soldier/.
• Three - watch yourself /polisher/.
• There are four sides - wider across itself /rectangle/.
• Five - can grab /fingers/.
• Six - not everyone has a sixth sense.
• Seven - like I am completely /family/.
• There are eight legs - we ask for dinner /table and chair legs/.
• I graduated from nine - what to do now / ninth grader /.
• Ten - no need to weigh /ten eggs/.

Challenges for ingenuity

Try to give the correct answer to these number riddles without looking at the clue:

• A passerby approached the merchant with a request to use his scales to identify one counterfeit gold coin out of three. The merchant agreed, but did not give him weights and allowed only one weighing. The passerby was able to solve his case. Could you?

A passerby placed a coin on each bowl. If the scales are in balance, then there is real gold on the scales. And if there is no balance, the counterfeit coin is on the bowl where the weight is less.

• Seryozha and Olya were choosing ice cream. Serezha lacked 7 rubles to buy a popsicle, while Olya lacked 1 ruble. Then they decided to buy one popsicle for two and added up their capital. But it turned out that they were again missing. Question: How much does a popsicle cost?

Olya lacked 1 ruble, but Petya could not give it to her. This means he had no money or less. That's why a popsicle costs 7 rubles.

• There were two mothers and two daughters sitting in the restaurant. When three desserts arrived, everyone got one. Why?

Answer: they were a grandmother, mother and daughter.

• There are four pears in a vase. How to treat four children so that there is only one pear left in the bowl?

Answer: give everyone a pear, and one person - right with the vase.

• Five baby elephants were splashing in the water, how many legs were there at the bottom?

Answer: none, they swam.

For adults

These riddles will be useful to parents:

• Two employees from different companies met you in the elevator and offered you a job. Both rates are 180 thousand rubles per year. But one company will add 20 thousand annually, and the other will add 5 thousand every 6 months. The elevator takes 30 seconds. During this time, a decision must be made.

Let's compare the amount of wages paid by half-year for three years:

First option: 90,000 + 90,000 + 100,000 + 100,000 + 110 + 110 = 600,000 rubles.

Second option: 90,000 + 95,000 + 100,000 + 105,000 + 110,000 + 115,000 = 615,000 rubles.

The second offer is more profitable.

• A certain portion was poured out of a full 20-liter bottle of alcohol and water was added. Then they mixed it well and poured the same part, again adding water. When they started checking, it turned out that there was 3 times less alcohol than water. How much did you cast?

Casting a part of the volume is equivalent to multiplying it by 1/N. After the first manipulation, 20 x 1/N liters of alcohol remained in the bottle. After the second 20 x 1/N x 1/N. Moreover, there is 3 times less alcohol, that is, 1 part alcohol, and 3 parts water. 20 x 1/N x 1/N = 20/4, whence 1/N = 1/2. That is, they poured half a bottle at a time.

Riddles with numbers for the whole family

Here's the story that really happened. The famous mathematician G. Ya. Perelman included it in his problem book. One day the whole house was alarmed: strange, frightening signs appeared at the doors of apartments No. 12, No. 25 and No. 33:

What was it?

Once upon a time, the Chinese janitor who served this house came up with his own numbering because he did not understand Arabic numerals. He marked tens with crosses, and units with sticks. This was before the revolution. For some reason, after the renovation of the house, the signs remained visible only on these apartments, but they forgot about the Chinese.

Short riddles for children with numbers:

• You enter through one door and exit through three. It seems that he left and then entered. What is this?

Answer: shirt.

• When she’s standing, you can count them on your fingers; when she’s lying down, you can’t count them at all. What is this?

Answer: number eight; when it lies, it means infinity.

• Eight go forward, they don’t know how to retreat. And behind them are eight more. Who is this?

Answer: pawns in chess.

• When did the clock sound SOS?

Answer: at 5 hours 5 minutes - 505.

Riddles with numbers are not only entertaining, but also useful leisure time. It is not without reason that 700 years ago, the medieval mathematician, researcher and author of several scientific treatises T. Bradwardin warned: whoever denies mathematics will never enter the gates of wisdom. Let's devote the evening to these riddles and solve them with the whole family.

Riddles about numbers combined with a number of didactic games and activities are a great mix of helpers for parents concerned about the competent development of their child. You definitely can't go wrong here! A riddle is a game, a communication, and a learning experience. Most often, it is she who solves the problem of the child’s reluctance to accept monotonous boring classes on a given topic. And in teaching numbers you can’t do without playful and exciting elements. After all, how else can you explain to a child that all these incomprehensible and not so attractive hooks and squiggles are a very important and necessary part of development?

Riddles about the numbers from 1 to 10 allow kids to find an associative series that helps, among things they have already known and loved for a long time, to find those very new comrades who, as it turns out, are not so strange and unknown.

This online section contains the best and most interesting children's riddles about numbers. They are not very difficult for kids either. Each riddle for them is a new discovery not only of numbers, but also of other concepts of the surrounding world.

Remember yourself: in order to remember a complex combination of numbers or learn a new foreign word, you most likely resort to exactly the same secrets as our riddles - look for something that will help you remember something new and sometimes difficult to pronounce. “Masha, look! This is the number seven!”, “Nastenka, how come you can’t remember? Repeat, it’s so easy...”, “Maxim, what is the top five? This is the number six! - sound familiar? Now imagine your child. “It’s not clear why and for what purpose my mother is trying to get me to pronounce correctly and recognize some strange lines...” - this is approximately what your baby would like to tell you, but cannot always tell you.

Now compare: “Masha, let’s go up the stairs. Look, each step has its own color and its own score (here, of course, you can’t do without advance preparation). And someone sits on each of them. Let's get acquainted (on each step you can glue pictures with images of things familiar to the child, animals, etc., similar to exactly the number that corresponds to the count of a certain step)!

Have you met? Now you can consolidate it: tell your child riddles about numbers, so to speak, without delay. Rest assured, this method of learning numbers is much more effective than the irritating demand for simple (as it seems to parents) memorization.

Result: the child is happy, cheerful and enthusiastic!

Later, when reading riddles about numbers to him, all the associations on which the text itself is based will pop up in his head, and the child will give the correct answer without much difficulty. By the way, riddles will also help your child when writing. It’s easier to remember what a swan looks like, looking like a deuce, right? And then, having imagined it, write the number itself. As we grow older, naturally, the well-fortified once-quaint squiggles and hooks remain clearly in our memory. Then you can definitely say that the riddles and your care have done their job!

Hello, our dear readers, we are glad to meet you again! If your baby already speaks confidently, asks a lot of questions and is keenly interested in everything that surrounds him, it’s time to introduce your baby to numbers and teach him to count. We invite you to turn learning into a fun game and teach your child the basics of mathematics using riddles about numbers from 1 to 10, funny rhymes and songs.

Many children, from the age of three, begin to show interest in numbers and figures. You can teach your child the first lessons in mathematics by learning a simple rhyme that needs to be said while bending your fingers:

One, two, three, four, five - our baby began to count.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten - we learn numbers together.

In order for your child to turn learning numbers into an exciting game, you will need teaching material that you can make with your own hands together with your child. These can be numbers from 0 to 9, cut out of cardboard or foam and painted in bright colors. Hang them on the wall in the children's room so that they are always in front of the baby's eyes. Fridge magnets, cubes, and construction sets will also come in handy.

You can start teaching your little one numbers in a playful way by reading him the poem by S. Ya. Marshak “From one to ten. Fun score." To make it easier to memorize, simultaneously show your child cards with numbers and tell them what each number looks like. Give your child interesting riddles:

Live in a smart book
Cunning brothers.
Ten of them, but these brothers
They will count everything in the world.

How many suns are there behind a cloud?

She stands among the sheet
Alone when the notebook is empty.

She is slim, proud, strict.

Turned red from shame
For a slacker, a rogue,
A naughty boy?
The one for which he is scolded
And they deprive you of sweets at lunch, -
With a light stroke of the pen
A number has appeared...

If your little one knows numbers up to 10, teach him to count everything that catches his eye: cups and plates on the table, birds sitting on a branch, cars passing on the road. While walking, pay your child’s attention to house numbers, numbers on public transport, and price tags in the store. When you see a number, first of all tell your child a riddle about it:

How many months are there in winter?
In summer, in autumn, in spring,
How many eyes does a traffic light have?
Base on the baseball field
Facets of a sports sword
And the stripes on our flag,
No matter what anyone tells us,
The number knows the truth...

I’ll bring you some numbers for a visit.

And sides of everything in the world,
And the oceans in the world,
The number knows...

Someone at night an old chair
Turned it upside down
And now in our apartment
He became a number...

Perhaps the most difficult thing is to explain to a child that a number “speaks” about the quantity of something. Write the number on a piece of paper and build a tower of cubes with your child. Tell your little one that if the number is 3, we take three cubes, and 6, we take six, etc. When the baby has successfully mastered everything, take a piece of Whatman paper and write numbers from 0 to 9 scattered on it. Ask the baby to build a tower of the corresponding number of cubes on each number or put as many candies. Don't forget about the riddles:

How many fingers are there on a hand?
And a penny in the pocket,
The starfish has rays,
Five rooks have beaks,
Blades of maple leaves
And the corners of the bastion?
Tell me about all this
Numbers will help us...

Loves to count fingers!

And a million have zeros,
Various chess pieces

And the sides of the chest?
If we can’t count it ourselves,
The number will tell us...

If the padlock
The proboscis will rise up,
Then we'll see here
Not a lock, but a number...

For learning to be fruitful, it is necessary to constantly reinforce the material covered. After introducing the number to your child, invite him to fashion it out of plasticine or salt dough, lay it out on a walk from pebbles or pine cones, or draw it on the sand or asphalt.

How many colors are there in a rainbow,
Days in a week for whales,
Snow White's dwarves
Twin brothers at the pawn

In the process of teaching your baby, do not forget about the musical accompaniment. Listen to V. Vysotsky’s song “About Numbers” from the musical play “Alice in Wonderland” with your little one. After the funny song, you can ask a few more riddles:

How many pirates are there in a dozen?
If three went somewhere,
Months in a year without summer,
Nonet performers,
Lives of a stray cat
And in ten flies without a midge?

Don't look for the answer anywhere, because
The number has the answer...

To help your child learn numbers faster, we suggest you play games with him, for example, the following:

Find a match: on a large sheet of paper, draw a lot of numbers, and the images should be scattered and different in color, size, and writing style. Ask your child to choose a pair for each number.

How many items? Prepare cards that show different numbers of objects: two cups, three trees, five cats, etc. The child must name the number and put the corresponding number on the card.

What number is missing?: Place cards with numbers from 0 to 9 on the table. Ask your child to turn away and remove one card. The child must understand which number is missing.

Skyscraper: Draw a nine-story house on a large piece of paper. Hand the baby cards with numbers and ask them to place them on each floor.

At the end of our conversation today - riddles about the number 10. Do not forget to explain to your child that 10 is a number consisting of the numbers 1 and 0.

Nolik, stand behind one,
For my own sister.
It's the only way when you're together
They will call you...

Here is one, and next to it is zero,
Stands as important as a king.
If zero leans against one,
What number will it turn into?
