8 Numbers are an integral part of our daily lives and play a crucial role in various aspects of our
activities. For example, clocks and calendars use numbers to help us manage time and dates
efficiently. On a clock, numbers are arranged in a circular manner, and each number represents an
hour in a 12 -hour cycle. The patterns of angles formed by the hour and minute hands are important
for understanding time intervals and solving problems related to angles. Similarly, calendars
organize the year into months and days, and knowing the number of days in each month helps in
planning. Understanding how numbers function in these contexts allows us to navigate time and
dates more effectively.
