I got "Sorry! This case is not available," but was able to open the slide show. Did the triage nurse get the number from the parents or a scale at the hospital? Did the mother, being a medical student, have a scale in kilograms? By the weigh, the scales pictured in the slide show have the incorrect capitalization "Kg". > Group- do you think the term "number sense" is correct in this context? > Because it is not really the number but the unit attached to it which they > do not intuitively understand. I would say "quantity sense". Pierre -- sei do'anai mi'a djuno puze'e noroi nalselganse srera
