Gold Rush!
Brahier, Daniel J.
Teaching Children Mathematics, v3 n7 p384-90 Mar 1997
Describes a mathematical investigation of gold--how it is weighed, stored, used, and valued. For grades 3-4, children estimate the value of treasure chests filled with gold coins and explore the size and weight of gold bars. Children in grades 5-6 explore how gold is mined and used, and how the value of gold changes over time. (PVD)
