Today we continued our talk of Base 10. We took some notes in our notebooks:
Next we talked about how base 10 numbers are made up of different parts, and talked about how we can write things in expanded form.
For example we might have something like 654.
This number is made up of:
6 hundreds = 6 x 100 = 6 x 10^2
5 tens = 5 x 10 = 5 x 10^1
4 ones = 4 x 1 = 4 x 10^0
Which led us into the discussion and explanation of how anything raised to the 0th power is 1.
We did an example of this expanded notation in our example notebooks:
We then talked about counting in base two. Base two only has 2 numerals: 0 and 1. This means we can only count up to 1 of anything, and have to group in twos.
We did some counting in base 2 together:
And then before you knew it, it was time for us to go.
Have a good one,
