The video will be the answer (There needs to be an animation of this)

› Select two squares and say they are the sheets

› Leave one as is, and add halves made from the other square: › + + + +… = 2 sheets

The video will be the answer (There needs to be an animation of this)

› One of us continues to explain in the video:: › that › These fractions are known as successive approximations. › How could you use this to solve the problem? › Have them respond orally. Tell them we are going to work

Problem

› We want to know what you would do to find: › How much does the curved side measure? › How many ants would cover the curved side if they become increasingly smaller by 0.001 each time?
