1. Did you know about Wolframalpha?
No I did not.
2. Did you know about Google Squared?
No.
3. What percentage of China's population is the population of the United States?
There are 1.35 billion people in China versus the 309 million people in the United States.
4. What percentage of India's population is the population of the United States?
There are 1.21 billion people in India versus the Unites States' 309 million people.
5. Now what do you think of the facts reported in Do You Know?
I think coupled with the statistics shown in "Did You Know?" it is quite obvious that these countries are expanding very quickly.
6. Do you think WolframAlpha and Google Squared will be useful for you? for your students? Why or why not?
Yes! I think it will help students grasp how large or small other countries are. Google Squared would be especially useful since is displays the countires' religions, literacy rates, and brief histories in a clear, easy to see manner. I think that would make it a little less overwhelming for smaller children to use.
