Is zero a number? Get in on the discussion here on MSP2. A mildly disturbing incident that has prompted some interesting discussion!

One of our MSP2 members has posted a question in the MSP2 blog - http://www.msteacher2.org/profiles/blogs/is-zero-a-number. I'm hoping that some of you math folks will help her out. You can find the posting on the main page. Thanks - Kim

This is a comment from Terry Herrera about http://nyti.ms/ebMJ7F - 12 Ways to Use the NYT to Support Math Literacy (see next comment).

 

These topics from the NYT are excellent examples of applied math.  However, I think they are at the high school interest level---unless a good teacher can really talk them up to the class.  A second factor in presenting such lessons would be the time needed to investigate and analyze the newspaper data.  The teacher would have to be convinced that the class time needed would be a worthwhile expenditure of this increasingly precious commodity.
