Numberphile - Videos About Curious Number Facts

Numberphile is a neat YouTube channel about fun number facts. There are currently thirty-three videos in the Numberphile collection. The videos cover things like 998,001 and its Mysterious Recurring Decimals, Pi and Bouncing Balls, and 1 and Prime Numbers. Numberphile's videos could be a fun way for students to explore and learn some fun facts about numbers. A fun number fact could be the "hook" to get that student interested in an aspect of mathematics.
