In math, what are “exploding dots?” I work with students and one of them is taking a course called Exploding Dots. I thought it sounded fun so I looked it up—I’m having trouble even understanding the concept of it, much less how it actually works.

Never heard of it until now, but basically I used a similar concept to introduce my daughter to binary numbers by reiterating what we do in normal decimal space and then applying the same rules to base 2…but I was lacking a good visual for that so I was a bit unsatisfied with my explanation even though she grasped the concept… Thanks for bringing this to my attention…
And to anser the question, it’s just a visualization of what you learned for basic arithmetic. Instead of a take over you got the exploding dot… It can help to make implicitly patterns explicit and show you what you are actually doing… The 2->1 machine is basically just binary and by getting to 10->1 machine you get normal decimal and by introducing it that way you basically showed the same patterns for all number spaces apply
