How Much is a Billion?

Pose the question to your students.  How would they illustrate ONE BILLION DOLLARS?  To jumpstart the brainstorming, show them the H & R Block Get Your Billion Back commercial.  The illustration is to drive home the H & R Block claim that one billion dollars are left behind because of people doing their own taxes.

Be one of the first 50 teachers to submit a concept to receive a $50 gift card for school supplies.

The final prizes are well worth the assignment because each grade tier (4-6, 7-9 and 10-12) receive the following.

• First prize: $3,000
• Second prize: $2,000
• Third prize: $1,000

Each teacher can submit EIGHT entries.  I see a classroom contest!
