Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: N q.a.3: Dinosaur Bones
The purpose of this task is to illustrate through an absurd example the fact that in real life quantities are reported to a certain level of accuracy, and it does not make sense to treat them as having greater accuracy. Aligns with N-Q.A.3.
