Hitler’s Final Solution killed about 6 million Jews from across Europe. Other targeted groups include political prisoners, gypsies, people with handicaps, civilians, and homosexuals. The total number of people killed as a result of Hitler's plan exceeded 11 million.
Example
If we held a moment of silence ( 1 second X 6 million) for every Jewish victim of the Holocaust, we would be silent 127.5 days!
TASK
Try to imagine 6 million. What does that look like? Your tour group will brainstorm methods to represent 6 million in a mathematical expression.
Brainstorm a place or item that you would like to use in your representation.
Use the Internet to find out the facts. (Capacity of a stadium, population of a town, etc.)
Use your math skills to calculate your expression.
