Large Numbers

Good number sense is fundamental for success in estimation, approximation, and problem solving. We need to develop a sense of large numbers because newspaper and television news reports contain many references to large quantities. The federal budget is expressed in billions and trillions of dollars, space distances in millions of light years or trillions of miles, computer speeds in nanoseconds (1 nanosecond = 1 billionth of a second), computer storage memory in gigabytes (1 gigabyte = 1 billion bytes), world populations in millions and billions of individuals, and nuclear weapons in millions of tons of TNT. Clearly, the average citizen needs a well-developed sense of large numbers to understand many of the news items that invade the home. Large-number concepts a re appropriate for development in upper elementary school, high school, and beyond. This article presents some examples to enhance a sense of large numbers in middle and high school students.

Measurement Tools

This program consists of measurement tools and geometric figures for usc in teaching geometry. It seems to be geared to students who have a working knowledge of, and can manipulate, a computer with case. It can be used in place of real tools, which arc often inappropriate for some students. Students have the option of manipulating the tools in many ways. It appears that upper elementary school. middle school, and high school students will benefit the most from this program.

The paper by Goldberg et al (Pediatrics 66:736, 1980) is of interest to the primary care physician in documenting not only what may be one approach to the often demanding and frustrating problem of large numbers of pre-participation health examinations, but most particularly in reporting what is found in a large number of such examinations when performed on high school boy and girl athletes. The physician may not appreciate that there are as many as 7 million high school students involved in interscholastic sports programs each year; potentially all are candidates for this type of health evaluation. If the pre-participation sports examination is to be effective and economically realistic, its goals must be precisely defined.

Engaging young science learners today requires a plethora of tools that oftentimes leverages technology in novel ways. This paper describes the use of several 21st century technologies to engage science learners in locally relevant climate science research projects and the presentation of these projects in an entirely online virtual student conference. Case studies demonstrating the use of and effectiveness of 21st century technologies and GLOBE protocols are also included. Through technology, students were able to find out more about distant locations and their own environments, talk to scientists, and make studying climate science personally relevant. Finally, the implementation and structure of the GLOBE Virtual Student Conference is described.

How They Lived: An Annotated Tour of Daily Life through History in Primary Sources is an excellent two-volume set to start upper elementary, middle-grade, and even early high school students on the path to discovering the excitement and value of primary sources. Ciment, an independent scholar, has crafted a tool that is fairly unique in the field: introducing younger researchers to primary sources from ancient times to the present day. How They Lived uses both objects and documents, which will grab the interest of younger students.

Would you like to integrate geometric relationship, scale drawings. graphing, patterns, and logical thinking into a unit that requires problem solving and cooperation among students? Would you like a three-to-five-day lesson plan that requires a minimum of preparation on your part and maximum involvement by students? Would you like activities that seem to be enjoyed by upper elementary. middle, and high school students regardless of mathematical ability? Then lessons on tangrams are for you!

TIMSS results in the number content and number sense ability of students in Indonesia are still low. This research aims to train and familiarize students of the junior high school to work on problems in TIMSS using number sense abilities. The process of developing test instruments in this research was through the stages of the Plomp development model that are (1) preliminary investigation phase; (2) design phase; (3) realization phase; (4) test, evaluation and revision phase, and (5) implementation phase. This research produced a good quality test. The test instrument has met the criteria of valid, reliable, objective and practical included 4 item with high validity categories and 14 items of medium validity categories. The level of reliability is very high with <em>r</em><sub>11</sub> = 0.884, objective from the results of reliability and practical from the student response questionnaire analysis with the average student giving a positive response of 72.1%. The results of the research reveal that the test instruments that can measure the number sense ability are in the low category with an average percentage in the overall number sense indicator of 44.26% and from the interview results, students have not used all the indicators of the number sensing ability well.
