Izibalo (Ngesingisi:Mathematics)(from Greek: μάθημα, máthēma, 'knowledge, study, learning') kufaka ukutadisha izihloko ezinjengethiyori (ithiyori), ukwakheka (i-algebra), isikhala (i-geometry), noshintsho (ukuhlaziywa). Ayinayo incazelo eyamukelwa ngokuvamile. (from Greek: μάθημα, máthēma, 'knowledge, study, learning') kufaka ukutadisha izihloko ezinjengethiyori (ithiyori), ukwakheka (i-algebra), isikhala (i-geometry), noshintsho (ukuhlaziywa). Ayinayo incazelo eyamukelwa ngokuvamile. Ochwepheshe bezibalo bafuna futhi basebenzise amaphethini [] ukwakha izingqikithi ezintsha; baxazulula iqiniso noma amanga alokho ngobufakazi bezibalo. Lapho izakhiwo zezibalo ziyizibonelo ezinhle zezinto ezingokoqobo, ukucabanga ngezibalo kungasetshenziswa ukunikeza ukuqonda noma ukubikezela ngemvelo. Ngokusetshenziswa kokukhishwa kanye nengqondo, izibalo zithuthukisiwe kusukela ekubalweni, ekubaleni, ekulinganisweni, nasekufundweni okuhlelekile kobujamo nokunyakaza kwezinto ezibonakalayo. Izibalo ezisebenzayo bekungumsebenzi wabantu kusukela kudala njengoba amarekhodi abhaliwe ekhona. Ucwaningo oludingekayo ukuxazulula izinkinga zezibalo kungathatha iminyaka noma ngisho namakhulu eminyaka okuphenywa okuqhubekayo.
