[Abril G. Karera]

Me gustó mucho. Los datos que da son en verdad emocionantes, ¿es que alguna vez han pensado en los números verdaderamente grandes? Woow.

This is a fun way of introducing big numbers, scientific notation and how to make estimates to children. It could be a great resource when studying space or during some year 5 and 6 Math's lessons! Keen older students may even be able to move on to some of Randall Munroe's work.
