Our first weekly challenge of this school year is a problem involving the magnitude (size) of numbers.
Everyone knows how old they are, right? Other than babies, who we talk about age in terms of weeks or months, we usually tell our age in years. For this week, try to tell your age in a different term. Choose weeks or months if you like, but for a challenge try how many days, hours or minutes old you are. If you really want a to test yourself, you could even try seconds! You may use a calculator, but you should remember to show all of the calculations you did.
