Get online so I can flame you without getting banned.
msn is being stupid and not opening...
Ha.
You need Trillian.
Use your math skills and write your own IM. :D
* cough cough, teachers pet, cough *
Hey! just because she is a good teacher, and i am one of her (few) favorite students, doesnt mean anything ;)
I got an A+ on my calc iii test so blah! Then I got like an 85 on my electrical engineering test =(
I finished school, so blah to you all
Yay! I woke up this morning and I found crud in my eyes, so I wiped it off. Yaaay, free breakfast! :afrog:Quote:

Oh so we should expect to see in the new another story about a teacher being inappropriate with a student? LOLQuote:

Can't ask my math teacher anymore, he's probabl joined Einstein (and al the others) by now:rolleyes:
I don't under stand what you mean....
passed away, meeting all the other math-genius, .......
If you take 2 from 5 and pass 1 to 6 how much is left from 6 that came from 5?
42..
Incorrect.
I can't say 1 since 1 is to short for a message!
Last quarter, I got a 100% on my first math test in the math course I was taking. The course was Math 153, which is the third course in calculus.
Opus is incorrect also.
Nothing. The two equations are not interlaced.
If you create 1 incoherently worded question and pose it to 7 chit-chatters, how many incorrect answers will you receive?
Straight answer leads me to think 7, however that answer is wrong as the perception of the question is totally unbiased towards the laws of chit chat. How many chit-chatters does that leave us with? :afrog:
That number can not be calculated.Quote:

Actually, a factor of 4pi... geesh. Stop rounding so much. Precision is not an issue in CC.
hmm. I am doing just about the same thing my sister is doing in my math class as she is doing in hers... and she is in 4th grade... I am doing Fractions... along with polynomials and binomials and diffrence of 2 perfect squares...
bahahaha.
Wait till differentials and integrals.
Those where my favorite, them and algebra...Quote:

In which case RobDogg's comment was quite inappropriate. Moderators!!!!!!

My sister is 10, and i am doing almost the same thing as her, exept that mine is more complicated...
Hey, DCLAMP, your grade got changed half way thru this thread, you'd better give the one that gave you the needed trick a very good rating!
You're a little too old to be in the 9th grade. To be in the 9th grade and learning what your sister is learning in the 4th grade. :ehh:Quote:

Duh..
I am creating activities for 4th grade math students concerning math story problems. Solving one-step story problems involving whole numbers and money amounts. 2 and 3 digit numbers in addition and subtraction and 1 and 2 digit number multiplication problems.
I am trying to stay away from basic worksheets. Looking for hand-on activities.
Does anyone have any ideas? :afrog: :eek2: :wave: :duck:
The Truth: The sad truth about majority of young kids and math is that they don't like math and all they want is to get home and play video games.
The solution: Write a math based video game!
The idea: Everytime they get something correct math related, they earn experience points. They need enough experience to level up, similar to RPG's. They need 400 xp to reach level 2. 900 xp to reach level 3. 1400 xp for level 4. And so on. Their homework would be to reach a certain level before the next day. Over leveling would mean they wouldn't need to play as hard the next day, effectively causing them to learn and have fun with it. What kid wouldn't kill to level up fast. They are already doing it as adults playing World of Warcraft! It would need to be something not as boring as just math story problems or flash cards, but something with a twist, blending a fun game with mathematics involved. Like a player would need to complete a quest and the quest giver gives em a math related story / quest that they would need to pull off in order to complete the quest and earn experience during the quest as well as earn experience after completing the quest. You can't get any more hands on than that and what kid these days don't own a computer. It's nearly 2012 :eek:
Marketable?: Possibly :bigyello:
the thing is, that math can't be used in real life
lol.Quote:

moti, how did you come up with gem like that?
Some schools are looking into leveling rather than grades. I think it has a lot of potential. When you get a grade, who are you really competing against? For some people, they won't get much satisfaction from that, but a leveling system would be much more directly competitive.Quote:

Also why limit it to just math? It can also be used for English, Social Studies, History, etc. Remember Carmen Sandiego? You learned a lot playing that game even though on the side you were gathering clues to finding the crooks. The propaganda is the learning experience gained.Quote:

I believe that the minds to do a good job with this exist these days, and have reached the proper age. The whole concept probably wasn't possible to discover as recently as the 90s, because the level-chasing games didn't really show up. I guess there were games like D&D that had been around longer, but they were a total fringe activity. Now that you have all kinds of level based games, the motivational impact of such a reward system is being better and better understood. The only issue now is implementing it. Not a small problem, of course, but a tractable one.
This concept should be tested on children. It worked on me when I was very very young. I learned how to read at the age of 2 cause of a Sesame Street game on the Apple IIc and was already picking up math before I even reached grade school. Old people (mainly teachers) find video games to be a childish thing. Yet video games can be a useful tool on accelerated learning! It just depends on how you use it. Children don't like being bored to death. If anything it prevents them from learning at all.
I agree. That's one of the reasons that I think the idea is coming of age. The video game genration is reaching middle age.
Of course, in your case, you also turned into a WoW player, so it may be that there are some negative side effects.
