Dog Mathematics: Exploring Base-4

Dog Mathematics: Exploring Base-4

Using a dog's paw as a basis for numerical representation, sixth grade students explored how to count and regroup using the dog's four digital pads. Teachers can connect these base-4 explorations to the conceptual meaning of place value and regrouping using base-10.
