audience-menu

How does math change across cultural lines?

Students’ thinking and problem-solving skills are challenged in this exploration of number systems from around the world. They begin with Roman Numerals then move on to Chinese numerals while learning to use an abacus. The journey continues with Egyptian hieroglyphs and the Rosetta Stone. Students investigate Babylonian numerals and the 60-based number system. The trek ends with Indian numerals and the invention of the zero.
