Its symbol looks like a number 8 lying down for a nap:
Let's explore what it really means. Tap Next when you're ready!
Let's test the idea. Keep adding the next number. Try to find the last one… if you can!

Here's a famous puzzle. A hotel has endless rooms, and every room is full. A new guest arrives. Is there space?
Tap each room to ask the guest to shuffle along by one:
Infinity isn't only about counting up. Some patterns repeat forever with no last beat — like a circle that never finds a corner.
A repeating decimal like 0.3333… goes on forever. The threes never stop — another way infinity shows up in maths! ✨
Read each idea and tap True or False.
1. Infinity is the very last, biggest number you can write.
2. No matter how high you count, you can always add one more.
You explored one of the biggest ideas in all of maths. That's amazing! 🌟
Next time you count the stars, remember — you could keep going forever. ✨
