Math; Wednesday, First Period [11/02].
At this point, Amaya was clearly on a teaching streak, to the point where she was almost thinking of calling up Sidon and the chocobros to tell them 'don't worry, I got this!' and not bother coming in for their classes this week! Might as well make it a full streak, right?
But, before all that, she needed to get through this class first, and she gave the students a nod when they got to their desks (which, by the way, teaching in an actual classroom was kind of bizarre, and she was thinking this was actually her first time even doing it!).
"Good morning, everyone," she said. "I'm sure you're not surprised to see a bit of a new face at the front of the classroom again today, seems there's a bit of turn-taking going on with this one, but I can assure you, today, you're in good hands! For those of you who don't know, my name is Amaya Blackstone, I usually teach shop class and weaponry around here, but today, looks like I'll be trying my hand at maths. And looking over the notes from the other teachers, I was able to spot a nice gap in the cirriculum so far that means we're going to talk about one of my personal mathematic principles, and that is quadratic equations."
Wait. Did she say...favorite?
"Now, back where I'm from," she continued, "we actually called them Nesselfoot's Quandries," she turned around to write both terms on the board, "and I can't even tell you how many nights I spent staying up late trying to work my way through them!"
Wait a minute...
"Nothing quite like the thrill and fun of wrangling one of these equations into submission with a nice handy formula like a puzzle key to the right solution."
Oh no.
That's right. Amaya Blackstone had secretly been a math nerd this whole time.
Well, maybe not so secretly, if you really thought about it.
"Now," she began oblivious to any worry or dread that might be settling into the class so far, and she continued to write on the board, "the real key to solving any quadratic equation is through the use of the quadratic formula, which goes like this...."
And thus, the lecture continued, in which it was way too early to actually break down into narrative for the poor soul writing this thing, but before long (perhaps much too long), the board was vertibly filled with hopefully everything you'd need to know about Fesselfoot's Quandries...errrr....the Quatradic Formula!
"Pretty simple," said Amaya, turning back to the class now with an eager grin, "once you really look at it, wouldn't you say? So! Who's got questions? Who's ready to do some examples?"
She did, however, notice that she hadn't exactly left much room on the board for more examples beyond those she used in her lecture. "Errr," she said, "or maybe we'll just go off of the worksheets from your textbooks instead."
