Today's class started with a brief discussion a trillion dollars. No one really was able to grasp the size of a trillion so I showed a series of pictures to help us picture it. To see the pictures, click here. Following that we finished our discussion from Monday on the Mastermind game adn how we could apply our problem solving strategies succesfully.
That lead to a discussion all of the words that can be used to represent symbols and operations in math. We had a great brain storming session, the results of which will be posted tomorrow. At the end of class I handed out a small crossword puzzle that requires you all to replace math symbols, numbers and operations with words. This is your homework for tomorrow.
