Who Wants to See A Million?
The purpose of the challenge to collect a million pennies is three-fold:
to visualize and try to grasp the magnitude of one million to unite the entire school in a common goal and to raise money for a cause (some students will write essays on where the money should go).
On the first day of school, many students took the following survey, and two days later, the Middle School had more than 10,000 pennies. Look for penny bottles at sporting events and around campus and help us make cents of one million!
Penny Survey
1) How many dollars are one million pennies?
a. $1,000,000 b. $100,000 c. $10,000 d. $1,000
2) How high are one million pennies stacked?
a. about 1 mile b. about 2 miles c. about 5 miles d. about 8.6 miles
3) How many times around the McDonogh track would one million pennies go if placed side by side?
a. 24 times b. 48 times c. 96 times d. 192 times
4) What will one million pennies fill:
a. the entire R-L Center b. the McDonogh swimming pool c. a McDonogh school bus d. a Volkswagon beetle
5) How much will one million pennies weigh?
a. approximately 62 pounds b. approximately 620 pounds c. approximately 6200 pounds d. approximately 62,000 pounds
