One Million Dots Project!

Here are some photos from our Million Dots Project. We did it but it was a crazy amount of work!

We started with groups of 1,000 and the children realized it would take too long to continue with groups of 1,000. Then the class decided to try groups of 10,000 then groups of 20,000 and have the photocopier help us. Next, we had to put all the pages together and make sure that it didn't fall apart. The children worked very hard to put it all together. Then, we put the whole project down the floor of the hall and measured it...it measured 49 meters long! Finally we had to put it up in the centre stairwell, starting on the third floor and going down to the first floor. The students created and put up signs to explain the project and it was finally ready for the visitors on Math Night. Well done Room 204! Now everyone can appreciate just how big one million (1,000,000) is!
