I guess it would fit best on my post about my son's question 'What is 500?', <a href="http://mathmamawrites.blogspot.com/2009/05/math-teachers-at-play-6-and-numbers.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. But it's fine here.<br /><br />I visited your blog, and added it to my list on google reader. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think you mentioned that all the ants in the world weigh more than all the people in the world - I like knowing that...Sue VanHattumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237941346154683902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303307482158922565.post-47461638081029806472009-07-22T21:23:12.630-07:002009-07-22T21:23:12.630-07:00Hmmm ... not sure where to put this comment!

Pretty powerful lesson at the end.<br /><br />Take the challenge at Blog on the Universe:<br />http://bit.ly/HJqIC<br /><br />Jeff Goldstein, Center Director, NCESSEJeff Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100650929037970893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303307482158922565.post-43055677868920680832009-07-15T19:12:27.071-07:002009-07-15T19:12:27.071-07:00I get back home to California on Saturday, and I&#...I get back home to California on Saturday, and I'll try to write something up (about the math circle institute) as soon after as possible.
