Main topics: place value, multiplication.
\babydispĮdit: Version 0.4 of the package allows to typeset numbers beyond 59 (up to 60^9 = 1.0077696 × 10^16 in theory, although I think TeX will give up before that). This pack contains video clips, activities and student worksheets, and additional notes and worksheet answers. A possible analogy: in their early arithmetic practice exercises. Decipher the given Babylonian numerals and write them in standard form: 2. I'm also adjust kerning between tens and units. The Babylonians used place value base-60 sexagesimal numbers written with reed. Here is the numbers 647, 3571, and 12345 in Babylonian numerals: To convert 647 from Base 60 to Base 10, make a chart: Similarly, converting 3571 to Base 10, we get: Exercises: 1. Also, 20 seems to be missing while 30 is mapped several times for some reason, so I'm doing 20 with 2 "10" glyphs and a bit of kerning. Enter the number to translate to Babylonian numeral. This converter converts from decimal to babylonian numerals. Egyptian numerals (this worksheet is about addition using Egyptian numerals). Note: It turns out that the font doc is wrong (Ah!

Unlike the decimal system where you need to learn 10 symbols, Babylonians only had to learn two symbols to produce their base 60 positional system. Until then, enjoy what is here Babylonian numerals.
Using fontspec with XeTeX or LuaTex and things like \char"1240D, you could easily typeset what you need. There is a paleo-babylonian font on this page.
