How Big is a Billion!

How Big is a Billion?

Mrs. Terry’s Math Enrichment group did

a project on How Big is a Billion? Everybody had to participate in the project. They could pick a question that they wanted to answer as long it was about a billion. We were suppose to draw pictures on our posters too. Daniel Zhou and Campbell Sion’s question for the How Big is a Billion? was how many people could eat with a billion dollars? Jacob Bernstein and Brendan Raynor’s question was how many pairs of shoes would each NBA player need to have a billion pairs? Grace Nieh and Jung-Jai’s question was how many computers could you buy with a billion dollars? Alex Semenza and Andrew Holzbach’s question was how many scoops of ice cream equal a billion licks? In the end we sent out our project to the H&R Block, we didn’t win but we got a $50 gift card.
