Dog Mathematics: Exploring Base-4
Kurz, Terri L.; Yanik, H. Bahadir; Lee, Mi Yeon
Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, v89 n6 p185-190 2016
Using a dog's paw as a basis for numerical representation, sixth grade students explored how to count and regroup using the dog's four digital pads. Teachers can connect these base-4 explorations to the conceptual meaning of place value and regrouping using base-10.
