Reflections on Dividing by Zero

The concept of dividing was already mentioned by Brent Davis in our lectures already. His lecture reminded me division by a fraction is like scaling. We had to come up with ideas on dividing on the spot so I think some one said reproduction.

I particularly like the free write. It allows for free thoughts to go through people's minds. The poem part is a bit hard. Maybe one can extend it to art or some other non-mathematical media.

For marking, I think it can be done on a 3 or 4 point scale for effort / meeting expectations. That way the teacher doesn't have to mark something so suggestive.
