Unique Positional Numeration System Project Overview

This group project consists of three parts, each due on Monday, January 24th. Firstly, create a unique positional numeration system distinct from those discussed in class, including a table of numerals and their corresponding Hindu-Arabic equivalents, along with explanations and representations of three-digit and four-digit numbers. Secondly, groups will compile a timeline on significant numeration system developments or research various numeration systems like Hebrew or the Rhind Papyrus. Thirdly, present an object showcasing rotational symmetry with a corresponding addition table.

Presentation Transcript

  1. 1107 Group Project #1 Due Mon 1/24, 3 min PPT w/ Biblio, HC to me Create an original positional numeration system that is different from the ones discussed in class. Construct a table showing your numerals and the corresponding Hindu-Arabic numerals. Explain how to represent numbers in your system, and express a three-digit and a four-digit Hindu-Arabic numeral in your system.

  2. 1107 Group Project #2 Due Mon 1/24, 3 min PPT w/ Biblio, HC to me • Group 1 – Develop a time line showing significant developments in numeration systems. • Group 2 – Research and report on animals and number sense. • Group 3 – Research and report on the Hebrew Numeration System (or any other system not already discussed). • Group 4 –Report on The Rhind Papyrus and what we learned from it. • Group 5 – Research the history and development of the abacus • Group 6 – Research at least one method societies have used to perform computations. Examples include finger multiplication, the galley (or Gelosia) method, Egyptian duplation, subtraction by complements, or Napier’s bones.

  3. 1107 Group Project #3 Due Mon 1/24 Each group should bring to class an object or picture of an object that exhibits rotational symmetry. Construct a clock addition table for the object’s symmetry.
