Mathematics: All Classes: Wednesday 3.22.06 Period 1
"Good morning! Please wait until I finish giving the assignments for today before going back to sleep.
Now, you are all in this class for a reason. For most of you the reason is probably "we have to in order to graduate." But there are reasons to study, math really. So, beginners? You guys are going to come up with three real world scenarios where you would use any kind of math and then write a problem for each one. I'll walk around and help you out with the problems.
Intermediate, you're going to read Flatland. Yes, it has twenty-two chapters. Each chapter is at most three pages long, so please don't panic ahead of time. After you read, you will find a question that did not get answered, for instance: "How does A. Square eat?". Then, you will come up with a creative answer to this question while tying in something from mathematics. So a possible answer for me would be: "A. Square needs to eat e times his total perimeter each day. He moves towards his food and absorbs into his perimeter.". I'm sure you guys can be more creative.
All right, have fun! Oh, and if you want your current grades, talk to me after class."
