Last year I started to work my way through the Waldorf Math curriculum by myself. These are the last few pages from my math "main lesson book". The first block in a Waldorf math curriculum is a Quality of Numbers block. In this block a teacher would guide students through the exploration of "one-ness", "two-ness" and the qualities of numbers up to 7, 10 or 12. Students look for examples in their lives of things that come in that number and cosmic "meanings" of those numbers are brought to the student in an age appropriate manner. I chose to explore 0 through 10 and create a Main Lesson Book page for each number. Seven is a magic, magic number. It is a prime number, so it can not be divided equally into any other number. There are seven colors in the rainbow, days of the week, chakras and stars in both the Pliedes and the big dipper. There are also seven sins, seven virtues and seven seas... it's clearly an important number. Seven dwarfs and seven little kids in Grimm's fairy tales. The Iriquois insist that we think about seven generations in the future when making decisions. The seven pointed star is an odd thing. You can make it in two different ways... it's like magic.
