Mathematics: All Classes: Wednesday 22.2.6: 1. period

[charlieeppes.livejournal.com]

Today's math class is posted very late, sorry has apples, oranges, juice and coffee. It also has lessons. And Charlie being behind his desk.

The Intermediates get sheet of paper and five dice, the Beginners get to learn and test themselves on the Multiplication tables, and the Advanced group gets to study robots.

Cameron gets to take a test.

"And your grades and your tests will be given on Friday."

Grab an apple if you wish.

Cameron signs in. Yay apple.

Victor signs in and snags a green apple. Because, duh. No, not really. But he likes them anyway. Nice and sour.

Walter signs in and grabs a handful of apples and starts juggling. Then puts all but one back and has a seat.

Angela signs in and takes an orange, just to be contrary.

Beginners

[charlieeppes.livejournal.com]

Multiplicate.

Re: Beginners

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor looks over the tables, and then tests himself. He only gets one question wrong on the whole thing (11 x 12) because he's still a little distracted from the great date he had last night.

Re: Beginners

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

Kiki zips through the math test, getting 100%

Re: Beginners

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Ahhh plutterfication my old nemesis...

Pippi fails miserably.

The only tables she really cares about are the ones that you can stand on and perhaps do a little dance.

Re: Beginners

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly spent some time studying the tables and did pretty well on the test.

Re: Beginners

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip manages to get most of the questions right. He does, however, have a tendancy to just do the long multiplication on some of the larger ones.

Intermediates

[charlieeppes.livejournal.com]

Figure it out.

Re: Intermediates

[chasingangela]

It takes Angela a while, but she gets the pattern.

(Four bears, 21 fish)

Re: Intermediates

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter spends no small amount of time staring at the questions and trying a variety of mathematical approaches to figure out what the question.

It never once occurs to him that this involves the actual physical construction of the dice.

So he might be getting a touch frustrated.

Re: Intermediates

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

It takes John a while, until actually flinging the dice, one of which lands on the floor.

John, trying to be a l33t m4th n1nj4, quietly gets up and gets the dice from under Logan's chair.

Advanced

[charlieeppes.livejournal.com]

Read about robots.

Re: Advanced

Broots looked like he was getting waaay too many bad ideas.

Cam's test

[charlieeppes.livejournal.com]

Define:

back-of-the-envelope
canonical
one and only one

Re: Cam's test

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Back-of-the-envelope are calculations quickly made to support a point without them actually being completely sound.

Canonical refers to concepts that have a kind of uniqueness or naturalness, and are independent of coordinates.

In mathematics and logic, the phrase "there is one and only one" is associated with unique existence, i.e. it is the unique existential quantifier, represented by the symbol ∃! .
