Numbers are everywhere! Time, money, space, quantity, happiness and satisfaction... There are so many things that, in one way or another, are quantified with numbers or can simply be quantified or work with them. In this episode of In Contact! we'll discuss the way numbers are present almost everywhere and the power they can have in our lives.

Of course, we cannot talk about numbers without getting familiar with some basic math expression you will need for basic calculations; we'll also learn a few idioms related to the world of numbers and mathematics, and we'll discuss the incidence numbers have in our lives; our Top 5 will be a countdown of songs with numbers in their titles (for sure you will know many other songs!), and we'll test your brain with a very wild math challenge; Just a Minute will be back with numbers, as well as our Smart Learning recommendations.

Now it's time for you to have your say about this topic!

• Have you got any favourite number? What does it mean to you?
