... learn to count in base 3 ...


Monday, November 26, 2007, thanks to the explanation and the help of prof. I learned to count in base 3.
Initially, I could not understand the various procedures, from an early age as we were accustomed to count in base 10 and then to consider the numbers 0 to 9.
However, using the ball of salt dough or simply by Dido, everything came to me easier.
To count in base 3, one must consider the numbers from 1 to 3.
The result will be what is shown in the figure above, where a group of three subgroups corresponds to hundreds, ten and two units.
I had fun to portray on paper the numbers 1 to 21 with their corresponding base 3, alternating a row of balls (white ones) without using the paste made with salt and subsequent balls (those orange) Dido.
  • For example: a ball in base 3 corresponds to our 1;
  • 2 balls under 3 correspond to our 2;
  • 3 balls 3 are based, instead, to our 10;
  • 4 balls correspond to 11 in base 3, because a group of 3 is the same as our 10 plus another ball (equivalent to one) you get 11;
  • 100 in the base 3 will be represented with 9 balls (3gruppi of 3)

E 'was a great experience that gave me this the ability to understand the mechanisms rely on any other basis that is different from ours in base 10.
