All parents want to raise their children smart, capable of science. And early math lessons can help. However, children are not very fond of this complex science. A fairy tale about numbers will help kids get acquainted with the basics of mathematics.
Math can be learned with play
It would seem, what kind of games and fairy tales can we talk about when it comes to such a serious science as mathematics. However, wise teachers argue that even younger preschoolers can be explained various nuances in this direction if the lesson is made interesting and exciting for kids. Stories featuring living beings who are given names - numbers and figures - are perceived by novice mathematicians more effectively than a dry statement of material, facts and laws.
In addition, all children are so fond of stories in which fiction is intertwined with reality, where good triumphs over evil. Therefore, a fairy tale about numbers is still useful for kids, and because it not only gives mathematical concepts, but also reveals the essence of human relations to them in a traditional allegorical manner.
Fairy tale about and bit units
Modern children enjoy reading fairy tales about numbers and numbers. And there are a lot of them written by children's writers. Even the guys themselves compose amazing stories in which numbers appear.
For example, one girl came up with an amazing fairy tale about a kingdom ruled by the wise and kind Queen Thousand. She loved her subjects very much, whom she constantly rewarded, multiplying by herself. And the inhabitants of her state from this became more majestic and significant.
But then a disease happened to the queen, which turned her with the help of a terrible virus - a “comma flipper” - into 0.001. And now, multiplying her subjects, the queen reduced them a thousand times ... And no one could cure her, except for one very wise doctor. It was he who again instilled in the queen a shifter virus, which returned her to her former size. This is such an amazing fairy tale about numbers.
City Tens
This is a story about numbers from one to ten. They, like people, lived in their own city, made friends, quarreled, put up and made mistakes. So, with the words “Once upon a time there were numbers,” a mathematical fairy tale begins ...
In a beautiful small town that stretched on the banks of a forest stream, there were small multi-colored houses. They were very small, just tiny, no bigger than a matchbox. But to the inhabitants of this city, the houses seemed quite large. And all because the inhabitants of this settlement themselves were tiny, tiny, as tall as a bean.
But, despite the small size of the inhabitants, serious passions were in full swing in the town. And one of the wise old-timers of the town, whose name was the number Six, decided to write down the most amazing stories in a book and call it "Tales about numbers and figures."
The first story about numbers called "Who is more important?"
Naturally, the story began with the words "Once upon a time there were numbers." like any other, it seems to be a lie, but there is an important hint in it, which should be a lesson to good fellows and wise girls.
The numbers lived together and in harmony. Everything was especially fine with four inseparable friends: Ones, Twos, Threes and Fours. And only once did they have a dispute about who among them is more important. The Four started it:
Although I love you, my bosom friends, I must tell you one thing. In fact, I am the most important among us. Look: the house has four corners, the table has four legs. The same number of paws for dogs and cats, wheels for cars. And therefore, from today on, you must address me as “You”!
What nonsense! - the number Three was indignant. - The most important number among us is me! Just look: the number 3 in fairy tales is magical, magical. The sons of the kings are always three, the tasks must also be completed not four, not two, but three. And the most important thing happens on the third day. Therefore, it’s better to call me “Mr. Three”.
Well, this is how you look at it, - the Deuce hesitated. - People usually look for a mate to create a full-fledged family. A person also has a pair of hands and feet. Just imagine that people walk on four legs - it's incomprehensible to the mind! A person has two eyes and an ear. So let's better address me to "you", so it will be fairer.
So-and-so, but something is still wrong, ”Edinichka laughed.“ Although I am the smallest among us, I am the very first in the number row. And during the competition, for some reason, the winner is awarded first place and given a gold medal. And for the second, only silver is supposed ... I will not talk about the third and fourth places here - it's somehow immodest.
The highest quality people always call first-class. And second-rate or, even more so, third-rate goods, most buyers will bypass the party. Yes, and the skill of specialists is most often indicated by categories, where the first indicates the highest level.
And if we touch on the structure of the human body, then the organs, which people have one at a time, are the most important: the heart, liver, brain.
If you think about our main purpose - to participate in mathematical operations, then only I can divide any number into myself without a remainder, and in such a way that it will not even notice it.
You know what? I think we are all equally important! And so there is no point in arguing about it. Let's not argue anymore. And let the words “Amicably and according to lived-there were numbers” our mathematical fairy tale will end. And new stories will be about interesting events that will take place in a town where residents do not argue or swear with each other.
And since then, One, Two, Three and Four no longer find out which of them is more important.
The second story called "The Tale of the Number 5"
The incident is
Happened here the other day:
Five suddenly came running
All in dirt, dust, burdocks!
"What's wrong with you? Where were you? -
Seven and Eight were surprised.
"Oh, back off, guys!
Climb where they don't ask
Ugly! I'm tired", -
So she said and fell ...
Six came out of the bushes:
"I'll tell it like it is.
This morning number five
I ran for a walk with the Hare.
Here comes the hunter
As expected, shoots.
Hare falls and Five
Started to run in fear.
I put the Hare in the basket,
I lifted the burden on my back
And he went to his house.
Five, get up! Bunny is alive!
One, two, three, four, five -
Bunny is running again!
Tales new, friends,
I will compose for all of you!"
Prehistory of the third fairy tale about the Seven-Poker
In the town of Tens lived the number Seven. The locals teased her with Kocherga - such a nickname was invented for her. And this figure, indeed, was very similar to this device in order to stir coals in the furnace.
As you know, a poker is a thing with a strange character. On the one hand, with its help, you can melt the stove and heat the house. A good thing, it seems to be necessary. And if you look from the other side, then you can heat it with a poker so that it doesn’t seem a little. Often in stories about the life of our ancestors, this cast-iron stick curved with the letter “G” appeared as a weapon of fights and even murders.
So the character of the Seven was also controversial. Yesterday she came up with a week, which includes 7 days, and made the last, seventh, day off. How grateful everyone was! And today I’m already angry at someone and let’s yell: “Just get caught by me - I’ll pull seven skins off you!”.
And then she suddenly calmed down and drew such a beautiful rainbow in the sky - just a feast for the eyes! She curved seven multi-colored stripes in an arc, set up fabulous gates.
Only this is not a story, but a saying. The beginning of the tale is waiting for the reader ahead ...
How the Seven-Poker got a new home
Maybe that's how it was, or maybe it's all lies. They only say that one day the Seven decided to build a new house for themselves. Yes, not simple, like everyone else, but special, so that it was about seven walls. She thought for a long time how to do it, racking her brains. Nothing works! The Seven spent a lot of paper on the drawings, shed a pack of pencils, but the matter did not move one iota.
The number Seven was very upset, right to tears. She locked herself in her old house and does not come out. All the numbers in the city were even worried that something bad might happen. They crowded around the fence that surrounded the dwelling of the number Seven, discussing the situation, thinking about what they should do. And suddenly…
They heard that amazing music suddenly flowed from the open windows. Yes, so wonderful that you can’t say it in a fairy tale, or hear it in a dream! Such a gentle and pleasant, such a soulful melody at the Seven turned out.
And she, it turns out, out of grief that she did not have an unusual house, came up with seven notes. And she learned to record with their help melodies overheard by the brook and rustling trees, singing birds and artisans humming under their breath. At first, she simply recorded music on a sheet of music, and then she played the flute. So, until now, musicians record their works with the help of these amazing icons.
And the house? His numbers were built together for their neighbor Seven! New, solid and there were exactly seven walls in it. And the numbers also painted it in seven colors, as if the rainbow itself decided to rest on it. Since then, no one has teased the Seven with Poker. After all, she alone managed to create such beautiful things - a rainbow and music. And her name became "The Beautiful Seven".
The fourth story, terrible and terrible, about a bloodthirsty dragon named Zero
In a certain kingdom, the Arithmetical State, there were numbers. A mathematical fairy tale would not be a fairy tale if various magic and inexplicable miracles did not happen in it. So the Arithmetic State was attacked by a bloodthirsty, evil and ruthless dragon. His name was Zero.
He grabbed everyone indiscriminately, multiplied by himself and destroyed. And all because after this action the numbers themselves turned into Zero. And after each crime, the dragon grew a new head, it became stronger and more bloodthirsty. Well, the population in the state became less and less. And then such a terrible event happened - the dragon kidnapped the princess herself! Mourning was declared throughout the state.
Here they began to think and guess the numbers, how they could defeat the dragon, so that they could compose new, kind and funny tales and tell their children. And they decided to make friends with the dragon, although it was, it must be said, not an easy task.
They threw the numbers of lots, and it turned out that the number 9 had to go to the dragon to rescue the princess. In fairy tales, as you know, it is considered magical, because it turns out by multiplying the triple (which is already part of the fabulous, magical numbers) by itself . “Thrice three times the sun will rise, three times three times the dew will fall on the grass - and a rider on a horse will appear from behind the mountain. It is he who will save the princess from a fierce snake! - said the royal prophets, performing their strange rites.
And so it happened. No wonder numbers play an important role in Russian folk tales. That is why here, exactly nine days later, the number Nine, sitting on a horse, rode up to the dragon's lair to rescue the princess. And in his bosom he had a flask of spring water, which, they say, has magical powers.
And they met near the ninth mountain - the evil Zero and the selfless number Nine. Here the dragon laughed, beat with its tail, fire began to let out from its mouth. But only Nine did not lose his head, jumped up to him and stood in front of the dragon, splashing spring water, magical water into his mouth. And Nine did not forget to smile, openly and friendly. Zero was even confused with amazement... Before the dragon even had time to perform its traditional multiplication, the numbers 9 and 0 merged in an instant and turned into one whole - the number Ninety.
And then the princess came out of the dungeon, kissed her savior, who became ten times stronger and more majestic, and gave him consent to become his faithful wife. They mounted their horses and rode home, happy and contented. Here the scary tale about numbers ended. In mathematics, those who have "excellent" or "good" in the magazine - they understood it. And whoever has weak knowledge in this science - do not blame me, learn the rules and solve examples, you see, next time you will understand everything!
Why did the king have three sons, and why did the eyeless child need seven nannies?
Not only in real life, numbers play a huge role. In Russian folk tales, three sons, three tasks, three days very often appear. And dragons or Gorynychi Serpents, which also appear three times, each time have an increasing number of heads: first three, then five, seven or nine, and in the third, the most difficult, since the monster can even have twelve. Numbers in Russian fairy tales play a purely symbolic role. A child who is not yet familiar with mathematics will not visually imagine exactly the number of heads of the dragon in question. For him, such concepts as the increase in danger each time, and the fact that there were a lot of goals are important.
Is there some kind of algorithm that the numbers obey? Probably, there is. For example, three symbolizes perfection and harmony not only in Russian culture, but throughout the world. Therefore, we remember to this day the three heroes. And it is precisely three elders who come to Ilya Muromets before his miraculous cure. And the distant place where the hero of a fairy tale often goes is located far away, somewhere in the farthest country.
In the Orthodox religion, there is the Holy Trinity, symbolizing the unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And in the ancient Slavic faith there was a deity with three heads. One head ruled over the heavenly world, the second - over the earthly, and the third - over the underwater.
A train of fabulousness and sorcery also stretches behind the number seven. For example, everyone remembers fairy tales in which seven-league boots are found, Snow White gets to the seven dwarfs, just like Sleeping Beauty - to the heroes of the corresponding number.
In proverbs and sayings, the seven is also often found.
- Having measured seven times, you can cut only once.
- Seven with a bipod, and one with a spoon.
- Seven miles to heaven.
- Seven do not wait for one.
- Too many cooks spoil the broth.
- Seven on benches.
And such fame was attached to this number, most likely because once, even before the advent of the decimal system of calculus, there was a septenary. That is, two-digit numbers did not begin after ten, but after seven.
The same goes for the number five. After all, there was a time when it was fivefold and even eightfold. The only mystery left is why the number eight did not leave its mark in oral folk art.
But the nine, even in the modern world, is often distinguished by people who are fascinated by the meanings of numbers and their influence on fate. This happens because this number, as it were, represents the beginning and end of a person's life experience. It carries the last earthly lesson of humanity - forgiveness.
However, the number two is also found in sayings and proverbs, which is not included in the category of "magic". Rather, it is a reflection of the position of dialectical materialism, which reflects the unity and struggle of opposites.
- Two bears cannot live in the same den.
- Two boots - a pair, but both on the left foot.
- Chasing two hares and catching neither.
And in a modern fairy tale, the lazy Vovka is "helped" by two from the casket. Yes, and often stories tell about two daughters, where one is kind and hardworking, and the second is evil and lazy.
There are modern catchphrases with a variety of numbers, for example: "Just like two and two", "Again twenty-five!", "It is better to see with your own eyes once than hear a hundred times."
Numerology
Do you think that magic numbers only exist in fairy tales? Not at all! People have long been occupied with the influence that figures and numbers have on human destinies. And on this basis, numerology arose - either science, or belief in the mystical power of numbers. But, be that as it may, but very many people no, no, and they turn their attention to the fact that the numbers of a bus ticket or the numbers of oncoming vehicles seem to have the gift of prediction. Perhaps this is just a coincidence. But who knows…
Even the most inveterate cynics with great displeasure are settled in hotel rooms under the number 13 or 666. But almost everyone simply loves the seventh, third, fifth and ninth. Such fame has already been fixed for them among the people - some are considered kind, magical, while others bring misfortune, even diabolical.
Today you can find entire scientific works in which, according to the scheme, it is possible to calculate your "number" by date of birth and read about yourself on a page dedicated to this figure. The compilers of these works connect both the character of a person, and his capabilities, and his future precisely with this "main" number. And as far as they are right, everyone decides for himself.

Collective work of students of 3 "A" class
Our familiarity with numbers begins in early childhood. We still don’t know how to read and count, but we already know “... there lived two brothers”, “... Masha met three bears”, “... and the Goat had seven kids”. Fairy tales are the favorite literary genre of all children. We decided to re-read the fairy tales known to us and find out what numbers "live" in Russian folk tales.

Our familiarity with numbers begins in early childhood. We still don’t know how to read and count, but we already know “... there lived two brothers”, “... Masha met three bears”, “... and the Goat had seven kids”. Fairy tales are the favorite literary genre of all children. We decided to re-read the fairy tales known to us and find out what numbers "live" in Russian folk tales.
Hypothesis: even literature cannot do without numbers?
Target: find out what numbers live in Russian folk tales.
Research objectives:
- collect information about the symbolism of numbers by analyzing literary sources;
- find examples of the use of numbers in Russian folk tales;
- analyze the frequency of use of numbers in these works;
Research method - analysis of fairy tales and special literature on the topic.
The history of the appearance of numbers
Studying the literature on the topic, we learned that a long time ago, many thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived in small tribes. They wandered through the fields and forests, along the valleys of rivers and streams, looking for food. Sometimes they fished and hunted. They dressed in the skins of dead animals. The life of primitive people was not much different from the life of animals. Observing the surrounding nature, on which his life completely depended, our distant ancestor first learned to isolate individual objects from many different objects. From a pack of wolves - the leader of the pack, from a herd of deer - one deer, from an ear with grains - one grain. At first, they defined this ratio as "one" and "many".
Frequent observations of sets consisting of a pair of objects (eyes, ears, horns, wings, hands) led a person to the concept of number. Our distant ancestor, talking about seeing two ducks, compared them with a pair of eyes. And if he saw more of them, he said: "Many." Every time something unknown, mysterious began after the deuce. When they counted “one, two, many”, then after two there was “everything”. Therefore, the number 3, which, when counting, should have followed the number 2, meant "everything." Only gradually did a person learn to single out three objects, and then four.
Then the person began to count in fives, tens and twenties (toes were also used!). The score in tens has been preserved in our decimal number system. The names of some numbers associated with the first "computing machine" have also been preserved - fingers and toes. For example, the word "five" in Russian comes from the Old Slavic word "past" - hand ("wrist"). And among some tribes, the number "twenty" was called "the whole man"!
Symbolism of numbers
What place did the numbers occupy in the fate of the Russian people?
We re-read the following Russian folk tales:
- "Tiny-Havroshechka"
- "Kuzma Skorobogaty"
- "Morozko"
- "Swan geese"
- "Masha and the Three Bears"
- "Princess Frog"
- "Kolobok"
- "Seven-year-old daughter"
- "Fox, Hare and Rooster"
- "Bubble, straw and bast shoes"
- "The wolf and the seven Young goats"
- "Elena the Wise"
- "Koschei the Deathless"
- "About lazy and cheerful"
- "Three sisters"
- "Mushroom War"
We found out that numbers in fairy tales are used to denote:
The number of main characters;
The number of tests that the heroes must pass;
The number of items involved in the actions;
Magical qualities inherent in objects;
Distances to the kingdom in which fairy-tale events take place (far away lands, distant kingdom);
The age of the heroes;
Number 1.
The number "one", as a rule, denotes the beginning, something unique, something very small, but at the same time very significant. Its characteristic features are strength, vigor, will, activity, initiative.
In general, the use of the number one is uncharacteristic for Russian folk tales. This is probably due primarily to the family traditions of the Russian people. The number one in fairy tales most often indicates a choice (one of the few) or the orphanhood of the hero (“alone alone”).
The number 1 met us in fairy tales:
- “Kuzma Skorobogaty” - “Once upon a time Kuzenka lived alone, in a dark forest ...”;
- "Tiny-Khavroshechka" - "... she remained a little orphan ...".
Number 2.
The number 2 often symbolizes pairing, evenness, doubling. Embodies something transient, unstable, divisible. In some sources, it is interpreted as "indecisive, passive, submissive, soft, plastic, feminine." In fairy tales, it is most often found to denote the pairing of heroes, circumstances. This is due to the fact that there are always two opposites in life: good and evil, black and white, light and darkness, heat and cold, wealth and poverty, and many plots of fairy tales are based on opposition.
- “Geese-swans” - “They had a daughter and a little son ...”;
- "Morozko" - "... the stepmother had a stepdaughter and a daughter";
- “About Lazy and Radivaya” - “The old man and the old woman had two daughters. ... and the people called the older one Radiva, and the smaller one - Lazy.
Number 3.
The number three appears in almost every fairy tale. "Three" is the most common number in fairy tales. Very often you can find in Russian legends and epics three desires, three attempts, three from a casket, a stone by three roads, three heads by a monster.
In fairy tales, we usually meet: a stone at a crossroads, which offers the hero three paths, three choices, three kingdoms that must be passed - copper, silver and gold, the father has three sons or three daughters.
- “Three Sisters” - “Three married sisters lived in one village”;
- “Bubble, straw and bast shoes” - “Once upon a time there were a bubble, straw and bast shoes”;
- "Masha and the Three Bears" - "... she went to the house in which three bears lived."
From the fairy tale “Tiny-Khavroshechka”: “And the hostess had three daughters. The eldest was called One-eye, the middle Two-eye, and the smaller Three-eye. Three times the hostess sent her three daughters in turn to follow the one who helps Tiny-Khavroshechka “spin, weave and roll into pipes”. “And on the third day the old woman sent the third daughter - Triglazka, and asked the orphan even more work!” Havroshechka lulled two of Triglazka's eyes to sleep, but forgot about the third one. “Two eyes fell asleep, and the third sees everything: how Khavroshechka climbed into one ear of a cow, and climbed out into the other and picked up the finished canvases”
From the fairy tale "The Frog Princess": "In the old days, one king had three sons." One of which, as usual, the main character - Ivan Tsarevich or Ivan the Fool went to a faraway kingdom, in a faraway state. Where is it? It turns out that it is close, because 3 x 9 \u003d 27, 27 days - this is exactly the lunar month - the time of the Moon's revolution around the Earth. We go further: 3 x 10 = 30, and this is the period between two new moons.
Here is an indication of where the Far Far Away Kingdom, the Thirtieth State is located - at a distance equal to a month's journey.
Here is an example of fabulous mathematics.
Number 4.
The number four is a symbol of maximum stability. The Greeks believed that first of all there were: earth, water, air and fire. For orientation in space, people used the knowledge of the four cardinal points (north, south, east, west), and the calendar year was divided into four seasons: winter, spring, summer, autumn. The number 4 symbolizes universal stability, order, completeness, reliability, stability and strength. The meaning of the number 4 is associated with the symbolism of the square. Even in prehistoric times, the number 4 was used to denote stability. Human life is divided into 4 periods: childhood, youth, maturity and old age.
- "Gingerbread Man" - 4 characters met Gingerbread Man (hare, wolf, fox, bear)
"I left the hare,
I left the wolf
Left the bear
It’s easy to get away from you, foxes! ”;
- “Seven-year-old daughter” - 4 riddles were made by the Tsar: “- The fourth riddle: what is sweeter than anything in the world?”
- “The fox, the hare and the rooster” - 4 times the animals came to the aid of the hare: “The dogs drove - they didn’t drive out, the bear drove - didn’t drive out, the bull drove - didn’t drive out, and you, rooster, won’t drive out!”
Number 5.
The number 5 is considered a lucky number. It symbolizes constant search and self-improvement. Five symbolizes order and perfection, represents the five human senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.
- “Mushroom War” - The number of mushrooms that the boletus called for war (whites, saffron milk caps, mushrooms, mushrooms, milk mushrooms): “- Come, mushrooms, to my war!”
- "Kuzma Skorobogaty" - "... he had a thin house, and one cockerel, and five hens."
The numbers 4 and 5 are not often found in Russian folk tales.
Most likely, the creators of fairy tales used them only as simple numbers to indicate quantity, it is no coincidence that these numbers are rarely used not only in fairy tales, but also in proverbs and sayings.
Number 7.
The number, which almost always denotes positive moments in people's lives, was considered a symbol of holiness among many peoples. The number 7 consists of two perfect numbers 3 and 4, and therefore 7 is not only a holy number, but also a symbol of reason. In the Bible, 7 is a symbol of the union of God and man.
Even in ancient times, 7 was considered a lucky number. Man perceived the world around him (light, smells, sounds, taste) through seven "holes" in his head (two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, mouth). It is no coincidence that there are seven colors in the rainbow, there are seven wonders of the world in the world, there are 7 days in a week. there are 7 notes in music.
It is interesting to note that our memory retains only up to seven different impressions or objects particularly well. With a greater load, errors in memorization increase sharply.
The number seven is found in fairy tales such as:
- “A wolf and seven kids” - “Once upon a time there was a goat with her seven kids in a beautiful house.”
- “Seven Simeons” - “... he left seven twin sons, which are called seven Simeons”,
- “Seven-year-old daughter” - “I have a seven-year-old daughter and letka, she taught me.
Number 12
This is the number of the highest perfection, so it is considered all over the world. A dozen is made up of the multiplication of two perfect numbers 3 and 4, therefore, it is the height of perfection. In most languages, a dozen means hefty, i.e. strong, healthy.
The symbolism of 12 is used not only to indicate the number ("twelve brothers - well done"), but also to enhance the mystery, mystery: at exactly 12 o'clock incredible transformations and magic begin, therefore the symbolism of the number 12 is most often used in fairy tales.
- "Elena the Wise" - "Exactly at twelve o'clock, a soldier hears that someone is shouting from this tower",
- "Koschey the Immortal" - "... here a heroic horse is chained on twelve chains."
Conclusion
Summing up, we can say that Russian folk tales are riddled with numbers. The presence of numbers is everywhere and almost always they act as sacred and deeply symbolic.
Even numbers - two, four, six, eight - are much less common in oral folk art. It's connected withthe superstitious notion that an even number is associated with death, the number of the "devil".
Most often in Russian folk tales, the number 3 is used.
Troika is:
- man, with his body, soul, spirit;
- birth, life, death;
- three periods of any entity: beginning, middle and end;
- past, present and future.
The number 3 prompts the reader to think about magic, about perfection. The constant tripling of the motive creates a measured rhythm of the narration.
Thus, the choice of numerals in fairy tales is based on the popular idea of the meaning of numbers.
We came to the conclusion that numerals play an important role in a literary text, and their study helps to penetrate into the thought laid down by the people, to better understand the history of their people.
