Large Numbers

Good number sense is fundamental for success in estimation, approximation, and problem solving. We need to develop a sense of large numbers because newspaper and television news reports contain many references to large quantities. The federal budget is expressed in billions and trillions of dollars, space distances in millions of light years or trillions of miles, computer speeds in nanoseconds (1 nanosecond = 1 billionth of a second), computer storage memory in gigabytes (1 gigabyte = 1 billion bytes), world populations in millions and billions of individuals, and nuclear weapons in millions of tons of TNT. Clearly, the average citizen needs a well-developed sense of large numbers to understand many of the news items that invade the home. Large-number concepts a re appropriate for development in upper elementary school, high school, and beyond. This article presents some examples to enhance a sense of large numbers in middle and high school students.
