Obama: STEMEducation a must-have

Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education is of the utmost importance to all students and is critical to U.S. competitiveness, said President Obama at an April 20 town hall event held on Facebook’s Palo Alto, Calif. campus

Realize that the container shape doesn’t change the subQuan

but does change the quantity: base number

representation.

SubQuan different containers

SubQuan normalized containers

Hands-on SubQuanning

SubQuan with your hands to engage your kinesthetic memory.

“I see it!”

Cement your kinesthetic memory to your visual

instinct with an Aha moment.

Seeing Reality

If you did the exercises at

www.itonlytakes1.org subQuanning these

cubes should be quick.

(Answer on next page.)

Subquan Numbers Have Shape

We recognize squares and cubes but what are the others? Hmmm.

(Answer from previous page is two-six-five!)

others ?

square

cube

?

The Right Hand

Specialized 3-D binary base

number device used for naming

shapes and ‘really‘ learning how to count on your

fingers. (Answer: 84)

Virtual Cubes Are Beneficial

Snap-to Makes SubQuanning Quick

Not only can the little cubes snap in place but entire

groups can be easily moved.

(Can you figure out how many cubes are there now?)

Meta-patternsSame SubQuan,

Different quantities!

What is the meta-pattern? (see next slide)

The meta-pattern is five-six.

Where is the five in this data?

Where is the six?

PolynomialDerivation

Use spreadsheet for differences.

Lynn Arthur Steen warns, "an innumerate citizen today

is as vulnerable as the illiterate peasant of Gutenberg's time."
