While I was working with a group of 3, 5th graders today one student asked me "Who invented the # sign for numbers?" "I don't know," I said. "Good question" she said...and it was.
Accompanying one 5th grade class to their session on "Musical Math" satisfied my curiosity. I'd been wondering about Musical Math for which the students leave their home room. What is it? It explores the connections between math and music. Today's lesson was about whole, half, quarter and eighth notes and the fractions implied.
