Summary

Session I

Very democratic. Most of the session, the team orients to the grid as having diagonals and representing the normal geometric world with slope, triangles, etc. They produce the following list of questions mostly presented on the chat:


(C/W*d)   Do the points have (X,Y) values (rw)  (Briefly in a textbox as "Is there a cartesian plaine to this grid or not")
( /W)     wat do we do with the points? (mp)
(C/W*s)   So we can find the distance between them by doing the distance formula (rw/mm)
(C/W*s)   Lets make a right triangle with (the points) We know what the hypotenuse is so lets find what sides A and B are (rb)
(C/W*s)   slope of line AB  (mm)
(C/   )   altitude to hypoteneuse (mp)
(C/   )   try finding the area of a circumscribed circle (mm)
(C/   )   inscribed circle? (mp)
(C    )   quickest route from a to b (rw)
 
(*s) Stated as solutions on the whiteboard; e.g distance between points = rt. 52

Grid-World vs. Diagonals

 Session 1: Starts with diagonals, thanks to moderator grid perspective
 Session 2: Moderator frames grid, rw diagonals, fa puzzled, diagonals and grid coexist
 Session 3: Explicit mention: you cant' go on diagonals BUT???
 Session 4: Back to diagonals, circles, triangles, etc. no grid
