    Nine is my favorite perfect square. The Magic Square of 3x3 contains a whole universe of information encoded within it. It is based on the numbers from 1 to 9.

    9 is full of patterns. If you multiply any number by 9 and add up its digits, it will "reduce" back to itself (e.g., 6 x 9 = 54 = 5 + 4 = 9).

    I just found this out! 9 to the 9th power is 387,420,489, which is a unique number. Breaking it down, we get
    3 + 8 + 7 = 18;
    4 + 2 + 0 = 6;
    4 + 8 + 9 = 21
    and ultimately 18 + 6 + 21 = 45 = 4 + 5 = 9.
    Isn't that cool! That is one of the many reasons I love math.

    64

    64 is a perfect square of 8•8 it is based on numbers 1 to 64
    64•10=640=64+0=64
    (I think)

    Fourteen is my favorite cause I like the way it sounds. 14 is aperfect square because 7x7=14. Also when you make a pefect square you have seven on each side

    49 is a great number because its composite.49 is a perfect square because 7x7=49. Because when you make a perfect square sevens on each side and comes up to fourty-nine.
