Alien Math



   
 Alien Math

        By: Daboh and Sarah

    Every Tuesday and Wednesday Miss. McMillion's math class has Mrs. Slodounik come and teach us how to multiply, divide, add, and subtract in different number systems. Also known and bases. The base we got most connected to was base 2 also known as Binary. Every time she comes we get at least 2 knew sheets or packs of a story based on the math. What happens in the story is Earth is about to become a road for other Aliens, so to prove that Earth is just as Intelligent as the other planets. A human goes to prove how smart we are and has to learn how to do all this stuff in different number systems. How you would count in Binary would be 0,1,10, because two equals 10 in Binary. Then it would go 11,100,101, its skips to 100 because in base two there is no two, so you can only use 0's and 1's. We had to make charts and multiplication grids to help us under stand. One base we had to do was base 16, and that base had letters in it. Once we finished the whole thing the human goes back to Earth, which is saved. Although Alien math was hard it was still fun and that's the good part.

  1. Binary: 0=0 1=1 2=10 3=11 4=100................
    So my sister in base two would be my age. I don't think they even have cakes, cause you can't put candles on them. "So how many more minutes do you need to finish dinner?" "About 100."

  2. Funny Diniti, my sister in Binary would be 0=0, 1=1, 2=10, 3=11, 4=100, 5=101, 6=110, 7=111, 8=1000. So my sister would be 1000 and I would be 1010.
