It is very important for students to understand a variation of number systems! America uses the base-10 number system, but have you ever looked into what other countries may use for their number system? It is actually quite interesting how different some number systems work compared to others. Here are a few videos to help you get a better understanding of how some different number systems work.
There are different ways to get children or people in general familiar with number systems. One way would be to watch videos made by others that describe these systems. Another way such as learning the base-10 and base-5 number systems would be to use visual aid. It is not easy to understand these number systems without actually visually seeing for oneself how they work.
