My love of mathematics started with a love of numbers. I enjoyed finding all possible ways I could add, subtract, and multiply different numbers in order to find a specific number, say twelve. Twelve was my favorite number; I loved twelve. We become attached to numbers that have a deeper meaning to us; numbers that make us feel, make us remember. Sesame Street had the “Pinball Song”; this song consisted of counting to twelve with a catchy jingle every child could remember.
