If numbers could talk:
An irrational and slightly complex mini project
Numbers have a mind of their own. Anyone who has ever taken a math class will admit that numbers can make you feel like a million bucks, or like you want to cry a million tears. In this project, we will personify numbers (give them a human form) in order to investigate them more deeply. We will see that numbers can get slightly irrational, have lots of power, blow away our imaginations, and even get extremely complex.
Project Description
Task 1: Creating the Characters(page1)
Task 2: The characters meet!(page2)
