Commentary: Teacher from Another Place (Writing Assignment)

 

            This is a fun assignment, where students had to imagine themselves operating in another base system entirely.  They had a lot of choice in how to package their work, and some had a lot of fun with the assignment.  A few struggled to catch on and had to redo the paper, which caught some of their misunderstandings about other bases.  In the future, if I use this assignment again, I’ll wait so that it can cover more operations, which will also allow students to approach the assignment from different levels of understanding.  7/05
