My Favorite Number Project Do you have a favorite number? My first favorite number was 4 because I was born in April and I liked how it was an even number and a perfect square number. Now my favorite number is 18 because it is the date of my birthday and wedding anniversary. For this project you will select your favorite number and discover some information about it.
