Why should future teachers solve story problems

within a Base-5 number system? Come find out!

Prospective Pk-5 teachers in a required university math course work in a Base-5

activities, students gained a deeper understanding of the complexity of these topics

and the progression their students will make because they were not familiar with a

Base-5 number system.
