History of Math (Family: Littles)

History of Math turns thousands of years of human invention into a thrilling, world-spanning adventure. Spellers travel from the farms of Mesopotamia to the floodplains of Egypt, the debating halls of Greece, the construction sites of Rome, the scholars of India and China, and the brilliant libraries of the Islamic Golden Age. The lesson shows how math began as a survival tool—counting sheep, dividing land, measuring floods—and grew into geometry, algebra, evidence-based reasoning, architecture, astronomy, and the number systems we use today.
