Devising a plan to solve Fermi problems involving large numbers

Fermi problems are open, non-standard problems that require the students to make assumptions about the problem situation and to estimate relevant quantities before engaging in, often, simple calculations (Ärlebäck The Montana Mathematics Enthusiast, 6(3):331-364, 2009). Our study focuses on the plan...
