8.5.20 Zero Worship

Good morning everybody and, having commemorated VE day, we are moving on with our own efforts and toils in the School of Daddy. Today we are contemplating Zeno's dichotomy in a more formal mathematical investigation. The children have been challenged to predict how many times they have to divide an answer to reach zero, if indeed they ever can. As you can see they have begun to test their theories and Katie has already proved her prediction of ten divisions wrong. Harold has some way to go to prove his theory right that you can continue dividing by half infinitely and never reach zero... Should be a nice quiet weekend!
