TBryant 6/4/06 7:37:55 PM EDT: When does this project end and a community chat begin? tutor 6/4/06 7:38:40 PM EDT: This group just started and they will have a few more sessions. TBryant 6/4/06 7:38:53 PM EDT: Also, how do new school groups get into this program? tutor 6/4/06 7:40:03 PM EDT: We invite teachers to invite their students to these sessions. We then facilitate them. TBryant 6/4/06 7:40:46 PM EDT: So they can join a session already in progress. tutor 6/4/06 7:41:45 PM EDT: Right now, it is really students of a particular teacher who should join a session. tutor 6/4/06 7:43:02 PM EDT: What we would want in the future to have is situation where students create their own problem-solving sessions which they ay, if they wish, open to oters. tutor 6/4/06 7:43:18 PM EDT: ay = may, others = others. TBryant 6/4/06 7:43:36 PM EDT: Sounds great! TBryant 6/4/06 7:44:19 PM EDT: Okay I will let you get back to work thanks for the info.

See you in other sessions. TBryant 6/4/06 7:45:25 PM EDT: So the real sessions have not started as for your ultimate goal of random problem solving. tutor 6/4/06 7:48:14 PM EDT: These are real sessions. However, in this environment, we have not yet run sessions which are participated in by a truly international group, e.g. participants from Asia, Europe, North America, South America in a problem-solving session. TBryant 6/4/06 7:50:03 PM EDT: I meant a session where someone comes with a problem and a group takes the problem and helps them solve it. I will not keep you.

Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:14:55 AM EDT: really? Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:15:00 AM EDT: how do u do it? Aza2 6/7/06 8:15:18 AM EDT: see when n is 1 sophia 6/7/06 8:15:18 AM EDT: yep, how do you do it? Aza2 6/7/06 8:15:30 AM EDT: its 1 times (1+3) which is 4 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:15:43 AM EDT: yes.go on sophia 6/7/06 8:15:53 AM EDT: yep... Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:16:06 AM EDT: that's ok but how did u go abt finding the formula Aza2 6/7/06 8:16:07 AM EDT: and for N=2 Aza2 6/7/06 8:16:14 AM EDT: 2 times (2+3) Aza2 6/7/06 8:16:17 AM EDT: which is 10 sophia 6/7/06 8:16:31 AM EDT: N os the munber of squares isit? Aza2 6/7/06 8:16:44 AM EDT: no the pattern no Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:16:47 AM EDT: N is the pattern no. Aza2 6/7/06 8:16:53 AM EDT: i got the formula by guessing Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:17:00 AM EDT: ooooooooh sophia 6/7/06 8:17:02 AM EDT: oh.. Aza2 6/7/06 8:17:14 AM EDT: i did like 4=2 times 2 Aza2 6/7/06 8:17:18 AM EDT: or 2+2 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:17:20 AM EDT: so is tt how we go abt doing in exams Aza2 6/7/06 8:17:27 AM EDT: or 1times 4 Aza2 6/7/06 8:17:34 AM EDT: and 1 times 4 Aza2 6/7/06 8:17:39 AM EDT: is actually Aza2 6/7/06 8:17:44 AM EDT: 1 times 1+3 sophia 6/7/06 8:17:45 AM EDT: er...

Aza2 6/7/06 8:20:38 AM EDT: i noe... Aza2 6/7/06 8:20:49 AM EDT: but i THINK it works Aza2 6/7/06 8:20:53 AM EDT: nvm Aza2 6/7/06 8:21:11 AM EDT: actually Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:21:15 AM EDT: c'mmon don'y give up Aza2 6/7/06 8:21:16 AM EDT: i made an error Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:21:29 AM EDT: let's continue to try!!! Aza2 6/7/06 8:21:47 AM EDT: ok wait sophia 6/7/06 8:21:52 AM EDT: the last number to add is the pattern no. Aza2 6/7/06 8:21:53 AM EDT: ill tell u the pattern Aza2 6/7/06 8:22:12 AM EDT: for N=2, the no. of sticks is N times 1.5 Aza2 6/7/06 8:22:21 AM EDT: for N=3, its N times 2 M Aza2 6/7/06 8:22:33 AM EDT: for N=4, its N times 2.5 Aza2 6/7/06 8:22:35 AM EDT: etc etc M Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:23:56 AM EDT: so do u mean for every pattern, we have to add 0.5 to the previous no.? Aza2 6/7/06 8:24:25 AM EDT: yup sophia 6/7/06 8:24:39 AM EDT: but fot N pattern, you wont know when the adding of 0.5 will end Aza2 6/7/06 8:24:40 AM EDT: but tt still doesnt gv a COMMON formula Aza2 6/7/06 8:24:51 AM EDT: exactly Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:24:56 AM EDT: the number of squres increases by 1 every time Aza2 6/7/06 8:25:17 AM EDT: so we can TRY to get a formula from this....... i guess sophia 6/7/06 8:25:31 AM EDT: wat is the formula for the no. of sticks? Aza2 6/7/06 8:25:44 AM EDT: tts wat im trying to figure out sophia 6/7/06 8:25:48 AM EDT: isit N(N+3)? Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:25:49 AM EDT: the one we got is too long Aza2 6/7/06 8:25:59 AM EDT: oh for sticks yah Aza2 6/7/06 8:26:10 AM EDT: why its tt way, dont ask me Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:26:11 AM EDT: tt's the no. of sticks Aza2 6/7/06 8:26:15 AM EDT: coz i really dont noe Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:26:29 AM EDT: so the formula 4 sticks is N(N+3)? Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:26:37 AM EDT: yes sophia 6/7/06 8:26:37 AM EDT: yep Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:26:45 AM EDT: ok Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:27:02 AM EDT: now we have find the formula for the sq. Aza2 6/7/06 8:27:13 AM EDT: its frustrating right? we tried so much and we figure it out now... Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:27:15 AM EDT: ok Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:27:21 AM EDT: yah...
