In Digital Media today we were doing an activity involving palindrome numbers. A palindrome number is a number that remains the same when the digits are reversed. This number is symmetrical for example 313. What you had to do was take a non palindrome number such as 89 and reverse is so 98 and add the two together 89 + 98 = 187. If the answer was not yet a palindrome then you reversed the numbers of the answer and added those together. Once you got a palindrome number then you could stop adding. If the number you chose only needed one addition then it was a 1 degree. However many times you had to add to get a palindrome at the end that was however many degrees it was.

We were put into groups and i was put with Kendra Isaac-Smith and we chose the number 89. When we had finally got a palindrome number we had a 24 degree palindrome number. We found that the hardest part was keeping with that number throughout the whole time that you were adding instead of giving up and moving on to another number.
