Working with Children on Activity 1
3 girls and 19 boys in Bulgaria 9-13 years old
5 girls and 4 boys in England 10-13 years old
Imagine that you are running the Doubler robot and that after the Add 1 robot gives a bird a number it is copied and begins dancing with the output number of the Doubler robot. So 1 dances with 2, 2 with 4, 3 with 6, and so on.
If this continued forever would every even number be dancing with a natural number?
