It was so much fun!<br />The easiest numbers are 100, 1, and 10 for me because 10 is the last number in the first column. The numbers 1 and 100 are easy because 100 is the last number on a hundred chart and 1 is the first number.<br />I love Digital Dog Bone!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JulesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879184421580483050.post-5815018506239758092012-09-05T16:18:44.715-07:002012-09-05T16:18:44.715-07:00Dear Francesca,

She is a terrific teacher, and I'm sure she's happy to have you in her class.<br /><br />I am even happier to hear that you are using some of the strategies that you learned in my class! I hope you and all your classmates have a super 4th grade year!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Mrs. RanneyMrs. Ranneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569904843028235217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879184421580483050.post-61047693595423332652012-09-05T14:18:22.676-07:002012-09-05T14:18:22.676-07:00Dear Mrs.Ranney,

Welcome to your new...Dear Mrs. Ranney's class,<br /><br />Welcome to your new school year. Looking at numbers is a very interesting start. <br /><br />Through history, numbers have not always looked the same as the digits we use now. We all know our digits...<br /><br />0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9<br /><br />Using these ten digits, we can write any number no matter how large but this wasn't always so. In ancient Roman times, writing numbers was very different. The Romans used...<br /><br />I, V, X, L, C, D, M<br /><br />These were used for...<br /><br />I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1000<br /><br />Writing what we counted was very different. Counting to ten looked like this...<br /><br />I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X<br /><br />I think it's much easier using our digits. The Ancient Romans didn't, as far as I know, have numbers for 5000, 10,000 or numbers up to a million. After all, why would you need to count so high?<br /><br />The Ancient Egyptians also had their own numbers. You can see them here…<br />http://www.math.twsu.edu/history/topics/num-sys.html#egypt<br /><br />Have fun with numbers, everyone. I always enjoy discovering new number facts and ideas. :)<br /><br />@RossMannell<br />Teacher, NSW, Australia<br />rmannellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325881715643049499noreply@blogger.com
