Palindromes are words, phrases, or numbers that read the same from left to right and from right to left. MOM and NOON are examples of palindromic words. TOO HOT TO HOOT is an example of a palindromic phrase.
Think of a few palindromic words or phrases and record them on a piece of paper.
Now, think of some palindromic numbers and write them below the words.
Did you include 2002 in your list of numbers? This year is a palindrome. The puzzle challenge in this activity is to determine the five palindromic years prior to 2002 and the next five palindromic ones. Once you have found these years, list them below in ascending (getting bigger) order with 2002 in the middle.
Study these numbers and describe any patterns or other interesting things that you notice.
