Sun Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'd like to do a short study of other number bases (i.e. base 2, base 8, etc.) with my rising 3rd grader. Does anyone have any suggestions for such a unit? I'd love names of books or websites! :bigear: Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathkath Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 math their way has a great activities for that. http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Spiral-bound-Teacher-Blackline-Masters/dp/0201861496/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278517390&sr=8-1 has it but you don't need the blackline masters because they are available online for free. You may be able to find a different edition way cheaper online if you hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyW Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Check this site out for binary number activities for kids. It's part of a larger computer science education that doesn't require computers. What I'd love is a lesson on hexadecimals for kids! http://csunplugged.org/activities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
