Discussion questions
A few questions to talk through after watching Powers of 10:
- Where in the video did the idea of powers of 10 first "click" for you?
- Can you walk a partner through one of the examples in your own words?
- Where might you use powers of 10 outside of math class?
- What part would you want to see one more time, and why?
Quick work-a-long
Try it:
