4 Blue Mayan numbers

So far in 4 Blue we have learnt about place value. We know our numbers come from a base 10 system. We have applied this to Roman numerals this week, however today we have challenged ourselves to explore the Mayan number system which is a base 20 system.

We learnt some numbers and applied this to solve sudoku problems.

How are Mayan numbers different to our own?

Where were the Mayans from?
