Number sense is an ability to understand numbers and apply them to different aspects of life. Young infants and animals, including crows, monkeys, and chicks, have an intuitive number sense for their survival. However, only educated humans have a formal number sense that requires symbols, equations, and words. In order to show that number sense affects our lives greatly, this book examines various cases of number use and number misuse. They include vanity sizing, creative accounting, “2 + 2 = 5,” 80/20, and the numbers 4, 7, 13, 666, and others. Furthermore, it demonstrates that the perception of an intuitive number sense is related to the tendency to organize life, life satisfaction, number-related skills, and the view that the world is structured. The book ends with a number sense typology and a number sense model for further exploration of the role of numbers in our lives.
