Peer reviewedBurnett, Peg Hampton – Arithmetic Teacher, 1981
Students were encouraged to explore the concept of one million. A short pretest revealed many pupils could not easily comprehend a million. Research and practical investigations began to find "a million things." All students were reported to come through these experiences with a much better understanding. (MP)
