2009 Chase School Awards – The Base Ten Number System

The Theatre Arts Production Company School, MS/HS 225, Bronx, NY

(Video math project)
We use numbers every day and tend to take them for granted.  But what are numbers?  How did they come about?  Did every culture develop the concept of numbers and counting separately or was it an idea that was communicated between cultures?  Why is our base 10 and not 11 or 12?  By utilizing drama, comedy and a math lesson, the video attempts to answer these important questions.
