Patty!
I think that it is a great idea to try to find examples of really large and
small metric units. My students have a very hard time dealing with numbers
that are very large or very small.
See if they can deal with the numbers first.
Can they give real world examples of a sitiation where there is 10 of
something(easy), 100(senior class), 1000 (entire school)
10,000 (people at game) 100,000 (people at a concert)
You can see if they can go the other way too. I find that it is hard for them
to even imagine 10 to the 11th stars in a galaxy.
Let me know what you think.
Paul
