The 238th Carnival of Mathematics, organized by Aperiodical, has been celebrated with a diverse range of submissions and mathematical artwork. The carnival highlights interesting properties of the number 238, which is the product of three primes (2 × 7 × 17) and the sum of the first 13 primes. It's also noted as a "triprime." The event showcases the beauty and fun in mathematics, encouraging exploration and engagement with numbers and their unique attributes. Various individuals from the Mathstodon community contributed interesting facts about 238, further enriching the carnival's celebration of mathematics.

The Carnival features engaging math art and thoughtful blog posts covering diverse topics. Ayliean's #MathArtMarch initiative inspired creative works including crochet, coding, painting, and structural designs. Blog posts include Peter Cameron's reflections on Compactness, Memories of CFSG, and research defense strategies. Further topics discussed were polyominoes, a modern presentation of Peano Axioms, practical math for programmers, the Monty Hall Problem, communication failures, a visual Go For Geometry series, and group theory with Zoombinis.

Prime numbers and their curiosities were also explored, inviting mathematicians and enthusiasts to discover and share interesting properties. The Prime Pages maintain an evolving collection of prime numbers with unique characteristics. "Prime Curios!" is an exciting collection of curiosities, wonders and trivia related to prime numbers. There are currently 31951 curios corresponding to 22773 different numbers in their database. One post highlighted truncatable primes and a game based on creating prime number strings. The goal is to list the small primes that are especially curious and provide explanations understandable to a general audience, fostering further interest and investigation in prime numbers.
