Reflection:
I enjoyed researching about the history behind Old Babylonian Trigonometry and one of the tools they used to calculate large areas of land. The Plimpton tablet was the main tool we researched and I was surprised that there was a lot of information online about it. I had difficulty changing my thinking from base 10 to 60. I have done math in base 10 for so long and was only introduced to other bases in university. I can see how it can be beneficial to introduce the concept of different bases earlier in high school or elementary through math as well as computer science.
