Whole Numbers - a number without fractions; an integer. Whole numbers are a set of numbers including all positive integers and 0. Whole numbers are a part of real numbers that do not include fractions, decimals, or negative numbers.
No explicit prerequisite course work or coding knowledge is required, but students are expected to have a some understanding of basic Math principles.
I would like to thank Digi-Key Electronics for their generous support of my classroom and curriculum development. Digi-Key has Kits, Lab resources and Lesson materials ready to support each of the Labs and Lessons presented here. Each Lesson or Lab will have convenient links for all your electronic component needed to complete the hands on activities.
Primer: "Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?"
As with any activity, please make sure you are using appropriate safety equipment. If you are coding, writing, reading, or working a lab, make sure you stand up and stretch every hour or so, Please consider any safety issues connecting to a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, computers and other electronic equipment.
Why are Whole Numbers the basic building blocks of mathematics?
How do Whole Numbers answer the question of "How Many?" ?

Whole Numbers - a number without fractions; an integer. Whole numbers are a set of numbers including all positive integers and 0. Whole numbers are a part of real numbers that do not include fractions, decimals, or negative numbers.
Humans and even other intelligent animals innately understand the concept of Whole Numbers. We can clearly understand the concept of "How Many" when we look at these two piles of Jelly Beans.
We may not immediately know how many beans are in the big pile, but we absolutely know that there are way more than 5.
And to find out we can easily start at 1 and then count each... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14... 93. That's what I think... I think there are 93.
Take the Pre-Quiz to get a better self assessment. Sometimes we feel like we already know a topic, and maybe we can just do a quick review. Other times we find we need to go a little deeper. By taking a quick self assessment, you can measure how much effort you need to put into this section.
Whole Number Pre-Quiz
If you scored 79% or less, you should probably spend a 20-30 min reviewing this section. Even if you scored 100%, it can't hurt to spend 10-15 min.
