- Not much to report at this time. The marking period is over, and a new one is beginning. Students are still trying to turn in work for the last 9 weeks. It is supposed to snow this weekend. The world is turning...
- I received a politically humorous email on Monday that is also mathematically challenging... I find it more interesting for the math than the politics, so please do not be offended by my posting this...
- Question: What is your favorite movie? There is a list of movies, numbered 1-18 liinked as an answer. Complete the following equation to determine your favorite movie.
- Pick a number from 1 to 9
- Multiply that number by 3
- Add three to that number
- Multiply that number by 3
- Add the two digits that make up that number to determine your favorite movie.
- How about this - thy that equation with any number between 1 and 9... what do you get?
- For those of you in Elementary Ed, I know that what I teach is a little out of the league of most elementary students, but I found an interesting website that you might want to try out if you want to do a brief lesson on technology. It has to do with simple machines (levers, pullies, screws, wheels...) It is a little too low level for most of my students, but it could be fun for yours...
Thought for the day:
- A meeting is an event at which the minutes are kept and the hours are lost.
