The Number Devil. The 2nd Night. Roman Numerals and Negative Number

Readers from both Ms Sanchez and Ms Kitto's classes kept developing and drawing on a toolkit of strategies to support them in determining the main ideas the text is teaching them. They jotted notes quickly while viewing videos, then identified main ideas by considering how supporting details fit together.


To extend their learning from the Number Devil reading, students:

1. Play "Roman Numeral War" 

2. Select one class assignment to write about the reading:

• Imagine a World without zero. Write a scenario of what impact the loss of zero could have on our lives. why zero can never be used in the denominator of a fraction. In other words, why can’t you divide by 0?
• Compare and contrast the use of Roman Numerals and Hindu-Arabic Numerals using a Venn diagram.
• Write the year you were born in Roman Numerals. Was using Roman Numerals easier or more difficult? Why or why not? Explain in one paragraph.

3. Work on pages 229,230,231,233 of the math journal 
4. and the related Khan Academy Links. 

• Exponents
• exponents challenge
• multiply and divide exponents

5. Meet with the teacher.
All unfinished class work will be completed as homework. Please, do not forget to bring back your math journal to school tomorrow.
