Counting and numbers
1pm – Numbers in Arabic
The cultural background of numbers in the Arabic world centers on the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, adopted and refined by Arab scholars (like al-Khwarizmi) during the Islamic Golden Age, which introduced the vital concept of zero and place value from India. This system, splitting into "Eastern Arabic" (used in the Mashriq, e.g., Iran, Pakistan) and "Western Arabic" (0-9, used globally and in the Maghreb) numerals, became crucial for commerce, mathematics and daily life.
In this workshop we will learn numbers from 1 to 100 and use them in everyday contexts such as age, phone numbers, and quantities.
