    One million
    By JohnV

    Clip to ScrapBook
       
    I don't think it would fit on a posterboard, but I show my students one million dots.

    I used a word processor and typed 10 dots. I cut and pasted it ten times to get 100 dots. I cut and pasted again for 1000 dots. I did this two more times until I had 100,000 dots. Then I adjusted the font and line spacing until the 100,000 dots fit on one page. I printed the page and copied it nine more times. I have a stack of paper with 1,000,000 dots.
