To learn paper piecing OR raw edge appliqué for the project

Great idea for your math lover. There was a great article several years ago by Ivars Peterson about John Sims' Pi quilts (with pictures) you might like to read:

I would just sew the blocks together - no raw edge or applique required.

1. That picture is a treasure! My DD did the same thing one year.
2. I would use Elmer's glue dots to baste down the numbers, and then stitch around them to make a very quick quilt. Are you just going to use rows of numbers? Could be cute..... Two color, or multiple colors would look good. You could also use all alternating black and white background squares, and use the numbers in color order of the rainbow.....
