Leafing through collections of proverbs of the Russian people, we will find many expressions with figures and numbers, names of ancient measures of length and weight, and other mathematical concepts. All these Proverbs and sayings can be classified as "mathematical".

We still use numbers, but the ancient designations for measures of length and weight have sunk into oblivion. We no longer measure distances in arshins and spans, or mark mass in spools. But the expressions are not at all outdated, but have become firmly established in our speech. And today, just as before, we can call tall man“Kolomna verst”, and about a smart person we can say that he has “seven spans in his forehead”.

Books help us find and study mathematical proverbs and sayings (where ancient Russian measures and mathematical expressions are used). So, to compile this article we used the following literature: “Encyclopedia folk wisdom"(author N. Uvarov) and "Proverbs of the Russian people" (author V. I. Dal).

Mathematics in the Forest

One day, Number One saw a bunny in the forest and said to him:
- Of all the forest animals, only you have long ears... So you are the only one with long ears!
“I’m not alone,” the little bunny objected, “I have many brothers.”

Then a bear cub came out into the clearing and sang: “The bear is the strongest in the forest.”
“You are the only such strong animal in the forest,” number 1 admired.
“Yes, I’m my mother’s only son, and I’m stronger than everyone else,” the bear cub answered importantly. Tomorrow is my birthday and I turn one year old.
- Congratulations! - exclaimed number 1, - I hope you will celebrate your birthday alone and eat all the treats yourself?
“One is bad,” the bear cub roared. - With whom I will play hide and seek and sing songs. It's a bad holiday if you're alone.

Why doesn't anyone want to be alone? - Number One asked herself sadly.

Why do you guys think?

Who does the number 2 resemble?

Number 2 was walking along the path and heard someone crying under a bush.

- I-I-I, I got lost.
Deuce looked under the bush and saw a large gray chick there.
- Who is your mom? – asked number 2 to the chick.
- My mother is beautiful and big bird. “She looks like you,” the chick squeaked.

Don’t cry, we will find her,” said number 2.

She put the chick on her tail, and they went to look for their mother.

Soon Deuce saw a beautiful flat bird with a long tail above the meadow.

- This is not your chick, beautiful bird? – asked Deuce.
“I’m not a bird, but a kite.” I don't even have wings.
“Pee-pee, this is not my mother, my mother looks like you,” said the chick.

Who is number 3 friends with?

Once upon a time there was a cheerful traffic light. He stood at the intersection and flashed three lights: green, yellow and red. But one day all three lights went out.

What started here! The cars couldn't get through because they were all driving at once. Pedestrians could not cross the street because they were afraid of getting hit by cars.

Luckily, there was a little girl in the crowd of pedestrians. She knew that the traffic light was friendly with the number 3, and rather called her:
– Hello, your friend the traffic light is sick and he urgently needs help!

Number 3 immediately came running and brought him three delicious triangular cookies. She gave the traffic light cookies and it immediately lit up.

It turns out that the traffic light was very hungry, and therefore could not work anymore.

Since then, the number 3 comes to visit the traffic light every day. When the traffic light shows cars with its red eye and traffic stops, number 3 feeds it three triangular cookies.

Four wishes number 4

“If this is a beast with four eyes, four wings and four tails, then I will make friends with it,” thought number 4.

She entered the forest thicket and heard a terrible roar:
-Who came to me?
“It’s me, number 4,” said the number.
-What did you bring? – the beast growled again.
“Four sweet cookies,” answered number 4.

“Hurry, give them here,” screamed the terrible beast.

Number 4 threw four cookies to the beast, and he instantly swallowed them.
“I was dying of hunger, and you fed me,” the beast suddenly purred. - For this I will fulfill four of your wishes.
I want the world to have more...

Five senses

Early in the morning, the cheerful singing of birds woke up the girl. She opened her eyes and closed her eyes against the sun. The kitchen smelled deliciously of pancakes.
The girl remembered that she had a lollipop under her pillow and took it out. The candy filled my mouth with a sweet raspberry taste. The soft blanket hugged the girl and she dozed off again.

Suddenly the girl’s ears spoke angrily:
“We heard birds singing and woke up the girl, but you, your eyes, closed your eyes from the sun and didn’t want to wake up.”

– I invited the girl to have breakfast with the delicious smell of pancakes, and you, little tongue, decided to eat raspberry candy instead of breakfast,- the tongue reproached the nose.

– And you little hands, why did you hide under a soft blanket?- the nose and ears asked in unison.

The little eyes were offended that they were being scolded and got angry:
“If that’s the case, we won’t watch anymore.”

– I also refuse to taste– added the tongue.

– But we don’t want to feel soft and hard, cold and hot,- said the pens.

Number 5 heard this conversation and got angry:

-What a disgrace! You five senses should always work together.

– Good morning, daughter,– the ears suddenly heard.

The eyes immediately opened and saw mother. Hands hugged mom tightly. My nose inhaled the delicate scent of my mother's perfume. Rotik got hungry and said: “The pancakes smell so delicious!”

“It’s good that all my five senses are at peace,”– the girl was happy.

Fairytale mathematics - Girl and Number 6

One girl could not remember how to write the number 6. Sometimes she wrote an oval at the bottom and a tail at the top, and sometimes, vice versa.
– Why did you write number 9 instead of number 6 again?- Mom was angry.
– Number 9 has a big, smart head. Digit 6
decided to become just as smart and turned over, - the girl laughed.
– So your number 6 is a circus acrobat“- Mom was surprised.

That night the girl dreamed of a circus. Instead of animals there were numbers. They tumbled, performed tricks and juggled.
Suddenly the circus director announced: “Acrobats are performing: a girl and the number 6!”
The girl entered the arena, and the number 6 deftly placed her on her head.
“Now you must count all the spectators in the hall,” said number 6.
How can I count while standing on my head? – the girl asked angrily.
- How can I count to six if you turn me into the number 9? – number 6 cried.
- Sorry, I won't turn you over anymore. I will tie six beautiful bows on your ponytail.

Number 7 and Seven Colors of the Rainbow

After the rain, a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky. Two boys saw a rainbow and argued:

– The most beautiful color of the rainbow is red, because I have a new red bicycle. “It would be nice if the whole rainbow were red,” said one boy.

- No, let the whole rainbow be green. “I have a favorite green car,” said the second boy.

They argued for a long time, and each considered his own color to be the best. Rainbow was upset when she heard this argument. She always thought that people liked all seven of her colors. Out of frustration, the rainbow melted forever, and people forgot how to rejoice.

- What to do? “It was I who offended the rainbow,” one boy said sadly.
- Do not be sad. Let’s ask number 7 to return all seven colors of the rainbow,” suggested the second boy.
Number 7, after listening to the boys, went to the artist and told him that the rainbow had disappeared.
“I’ll draw a rainbow if the boys make peace.”

The artist painted the picture for seven whole days of the week. When the picture was ready, a rainbow appeared in the sky again.

Who helped Number 8?

- Oh-oh-oh! - Number 8 cried, - I fell, hurt my side and am late for class. Today children must learn the number 8. If I don’t come, they won’t learn me.

- Let us swim to class instead of you. Children can make the number 8 from two oval clouds, said the two clouds.
“No, you’re too big and won’t fit in the classroom,” sad
Number 8 objected.

“Maybe I’ll fly on the web to school instead of you?” “I look like a little Eight, and I have eight legs,” squeaked the spider.

“No, you’re too small, and the wind could take your web in a completely different direction,” number 8 answered sadly.
A boy was riding a bicycle along the road. He took the number 8 and took him to school.

Lucky number 9

“Five has five fingers, Seven has seven notes, but I have nothing,” number 9 said sadly.
“You can count nine objects at once,” other numbers began to console the number 9.
“But I have nothing to count,” Nine almost cried.

The sun took pity on the number 9 and gave it nine rays of sunshine.

The number 9 was delighted and spent the whole day counting its nine rays. When evening came, the number 9 hid the rays in amber stones so that they would not melt in the darkness.
The next day I saw the number 9 on the street crying girl. The girl was nine years old, but her mother and father quarreled, and so she cried. “You can’t go without a gift on your birthday,” number 9 decided and gave the girl amber stones with rays of sunshine.

The appearance of Zero

“I’m so good-looking, I look like the sun, and like a bagel, and like a ball,” Nolik sang loudly, walking along the road.
All the numbers immediately surrounded him.
- Oh, you're oval like a pancake! What is your name? – asked number 2.
– My name is Zero, and I famous person. Wherever you look, you’ll find me everywhere, in any wheel,” Nolik said proudly.
– What can you count? – asked number 9.
“I can count anything,” Nolik answered importantly and began to count. But no matter how much he counted, the result was always zero.
“Why are you needed if you can’t count even one object with your help,” the numbers laughed.
- Am I really no one at all...

How did the number 10 come about?

Number 1 brought Nolik to her home, seated the guest at the table and said:
- Sorry, Nolik, I won’t be able to treat you well. I have one of everything in my house: one cup of tea and one pie.

“And I myself came to visit empty-handed,” Nolik was upset.
Number 1 put a plate with one pie and one cup of tea in front of Nolik and sat down next to him.
Ten pies and ten cups of tea suddenly appeared on the table.
– Zero is a miracle! Together with you we form the number 10! – Number 1 shouted joyfully.
She rather ran to the other figures and invited them to her place for tea.
“Thank you for the invitation, but you only have one pie and one cup of tea in your house, and there are many of us,” the numbers refused.
- It used to be like this, but Nolik changed everything and miraculously increased everything tenfold.

Last year I sent mathematical riddles to the Portfolio festival, this year I wanted to collect proverbs related to mathematics. Proverbs are a national treasure and are accumulated by the people over the course of their centuries-old culture. Numbers are the source of origin of many proverbs. Without them, our speech would be poor and ordinary. Most proverbs associated with the number one, because it is the first natural number. There are many proverbs associated with the numbers 2, 3, 7 and 13. According to the ancient Greek mathematician Nicomachus, who lived at the end of the 1st century AD, the number two is the beginning of inequality and contradiction. Three is the first real number, since it has a beginning, middle and end, therefore it is a perfect number. For many peoples, the most superstitions arose with the numbers three, seven and thirteen. Superstitions associated with the number three date back to the times when people could only count to three.B Ancient Babylon people have observed seven moving planets that supposedly revolve around the Earth. Every seventh day was considered sacred and declared a day of rest from work. The number seven has magical meaning. For some ancient peoples, the base of the number system was the number 12. It closed the natural series, so the number 12 was followed by an unknown, dangerous number - this is the number 13. This number could only bring misfortune.
