The ClassBrain Net Worthy Award

We’ve found another one! This one came about because of a question sent to “
Ask ClassBrain” by one of our visitors. They asked: “I was wondering if you could describe to me how much a trillion is?” Now, that would normally be a difficult concept to describe to the younger folks . . . but wait! There’s a website that will give us an idea of what a million, a billion, and a trillion looks like. It’s called the MegaPenny Project by Kokogiak Media. How many pennies will fit into the Empire State Building? What does one trillion pennies look like? Exactly how many pennies are in circulation right now? With the help of some cool images and comparisons, you will easily be able to visualize what really large numbers look like. Congratulations to the site builder on becoming our next Net Worthy website!
