The following (reports) were written by members of the Math Explorations Club. Some elements may have been removed for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words. today we had fun by: wade Today we wrote down different things you can do with numbers on a big sheet. Then we tried to connect them. For example orientation is connected to fractions because you can write frations upside-down, sideways etc. Also we found out that you can make kalidiscopes with rulers!! By, Christine 5/2/98 Today we learned how to connect things in math. We got ideas that has to do with math and put them on a sheat of paper and try to connect them with the ideas. I gave out one of the ideas it was mesherment, numbers and questions. I had a fun time. - Michelle Today I learned about wierd mesurment. It is funny because you can do almost anywhere. It was fun learning it. About math and how you can use it. You can use it in anywhere you go. I did a wierd thing about math I counted all the squares and multiplyed all the numbres and the area around it. You can use a lot af things with math. Math is like a process of going though. And I learned somethingcalled flipping a number around. I learent abuot changing a to 1. Alex Tomas Today we learned how different parts of math and how they were connected to each other. One of the things we compared were adding and subtracting. We also learned what the concept of Orientation was and how it could change a lot of simple math problems. We had fun looking through the rulers because we saw many funny images through them. One person came up with the idea of making a kleidescope so everbody made one with see through rulers. The images were really cool. 5/2/98 today was lots of fun.we had a chart and we thought about simaler things in math.Then we put them on paper and found there simalarity. Then snack.We played with rulers.I had lots of fun. -Anne Ben 5/2/98 Today we came up with different math subjects such as division, or addition. We linked them together to form a web. We found that every subject was linked to every other subject in many ways. We learned that the chances of landing on a mathematical point on a line is zero. (even though it will land on one point). Today we talked about how different types of math connected to each other. -Natalie
