In this episode, James explores the Aztec number system and how it represents quantity using symbols drawn from everyday life. He examines its underlying structure and shows how numbers are built and interpreted without relying on place value. The episode invites teachers to reflect on how this system challenges familiar assumptions and offers practical classroom tasks to support students in investigating number patterns, structure, and representation in meaningful ways.
