 Aza2 5/26/06 8:32:31 AM EDT: u need to find the no. of matchsticks used
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:32:39 AM EDT: okay
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:33:03 AM EDT: do we need to draw all the figures?
 Roohiya2 5/26/06 8:33:14 AM EDT: like for fig. 1 there is 1 sq, fig. 2, 2 sq
 Aza2 5/26/06 8:33:18 AM EDT: i dont think so
 Aza2 5/26/06 8:33:29 AM EDT: just count the no of matchsticks in these figures
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:33:37 AM EDT: okay!!
 M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M

 M M
 Roohiya2 5/26/06 8:38:36 AM EDT: count the no. of sticks for fiq. 2 and 3  its simpler 
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:38:44 AM EDT: yes
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:38:56 AM EDT: for fig 2 right,
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:39:09 AM EDT: it's 4 + 2(3)
 Aza2 5/26/06 8:39:20 AM EDT: i get it
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:39:21 AM EDT: u use add 4 everytime
 Roohiya2 5/26/06 8:39:22 AM EDT: they have given   10
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:39:24 AM EDT: for fig 3 right
 Roohiya2 5/26/06 8:40:01 AM EDT: the diff increases by 2 
 Aza2 5/26/06 8:40:02 AM EDT: in this case
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:40:05 AM EDT: it's 4 + 3(2+3)
 Aza2 5/26/06 8:40:08 AM EDT: iniator is 0, right?
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:40:12 AM EDT: then for fig 4
 Roohiya2 5/26/06 8:40:20 AM EDT: count it
 Roohiya2 5/26/06 8:40:24 AM EDT: count it
 Aza2 5/26/06 8:40:39 AM EDT: fig 4:28 and fig 5:40
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:40:39 AM EDT: it's 4+ 3(2+2+4)
 Roohiya2 5/26/06 8:40:41 AM EDT: initiator is not 0
 Aza2 5/26/06 8:40:50 AM EDT: 4-4=0
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:40:54 AM EDT: *it's 4+ 3(2+3+4)
 Aza2 5/26/06 8:40:59 AM EDT: 6-2=4
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:41:04 AM EDT: do u get it/
 Aza2 5/26/06 8:41:12 AM EDT: hang on

 Roohiya2 5/26/06 8:41:29 AM EDT: but the diff should be the same if u use the fomula
 Aza2 5/26/06 8:41:40 AM EDT: isnt it like the first time
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 8:41:45 AM EDT: SO THE FORMula  is
 Roohiya2 5/26/06 8:42:15 AM EDT: initiator + diff. multiply by (n)
 Aza2 5/26/06 8:42:18 AM EDT: 0+4=4 then, 4+(4+2)=10, then, 10+(4+2+2)=18
 Aza2 5/26/06 8:42:22 AM EDT: etc

 nan 5/26/06 9:09:58 AM EDT: go ahead and continue your work
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:10:01 AM EDT: so the formula is 4 + 3(n-1) + 3+2(n-2)+ 3+ 2(n-3)+ 3+2(n-4) and it goes on
 Roohiya2 5/26/06 9:10:05 AM EDT: ok

 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:25:22 AM EDT: im finishing 
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:25:24 AM EDT: hold on
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:25:38 AM EDT: This room will be in your 'My Rooms' tab.
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:26:04 AM EDT: ok
 M
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:26:16 AM EDT: Your teacher knows when the next session will be.
 M M M M M M M
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:27:01 AM EDT: Since this room will be in your 'My Rooms' tab, you can go back to it and look at what you have done.
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:27:01 AM EDT: but xinliang
 M M
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:27:12 AM EDT: yes?
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:27:36 AM EDT: the no. of sticks formula might be wrong becoz it does not apply to the 1st pattern
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:27:37 AM EDT: You will get feedback for your work. 
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:27:43 AM EDT: ok
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:27:58 AM EDT: its supposed to apply to all the patterns
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:28:07 AM EDT: tht's why im not sure about the 1st pattern
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:28:14 AM EDT: but it works for the other patterns
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:28:56 AM EDT: doesnt it seem too complicated and i think it should apply for all patterns
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:29:08 AM EDT: You might want to write a summary of what you have found out during this session.
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:29:21 AM EDT: im sure there's an easier method 
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:29:28 AM EDT: ok
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:29:33 AM EDT: so we sum up first 
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:29:44 AM EDT: and we will discuss the next session?
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:29:49 AM EDT: ok
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:30:19 AM EDT: next discussion we'll start with the 1st pattern and find the possible combos like 2(2)=4 etc
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:30:32 AM EDT: yup
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:30:35 AM EDT: and hopefully sophia will be able to solve the prob
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:30:39 AM EDT: anw
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:30:47 AM EDT: we need to complete the last square
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:30:54 AM EDT: erm..rtoledosj...how do u sum up?
 M
 sophia joins the room 5/26/06 9:31:04 AM EDT

 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:31:20 AM EDT: Hi Sophia!
 M
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:32:15 AM EDT: sophia is ur comp prob solved?
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:32:42 AM EDT: You might describe the main findings that you have. For example, describe how the sticks increase with every new pattern, how the squares increase with every new pattern.
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:33:11 AM EDT: do we discuss it on the whiteboard?
 M
 Aza2 leaves the room 5/26/06 9:35:30 AM EDT
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:36:14 AM EDT: roohiya..are we going to sum up?
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:38:21 AM EDT: After you have summed up, you can click on 'Send Mail' to inform the mentors that you have made a summary.
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:39:40 AM EDT: is the table considered a sum up?
 Aza2 joins the room 5/26/06 9:40:02 AM EDT
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:40:10 AM EDT: im so sorry!
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:40:11 AM EDT: Just add a little explanation.
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:40:22 AM EDT: i closed the main window by accident
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:41:14 AM EDT: You have done great work. I look forward to being with you in future sessions.
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:41:44 AM EDT: is it done?

 Aza2 5/26/06 9:41:57 AM EDT: ummm
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:42:07 AM EDT: we r left with the summing up
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:42:11 AM EDT: Feel free to enter this system and explore it, especially through the Sandbox and the help areas.
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:42:14 AM EDT: roohiya help!!!
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:42:24 AM EDT: sophia help!!!
 nan 5/26/06 9:43:06 AM EDT: i don't think sophia is actually here, i talked to her in the lobby and she can't see the room window
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:43:28 AM EDT: okay so for the squares the increase in the no. of squares from the prev pattern is just the pattern no. (pat2=pat1+2(which is pat no.)
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:43:43 AM EDT: is tt considered an explanation?
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:44:44 AM EDT: xinliang, r u there?
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:44:50 AM EDT: yepp
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:45:23 AM EDT: we can write it down first 
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:45:35 AM EDT: it's al least considered an explanation
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:45:42 AM EDT: ok
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:45:44 AM EDT: ill do tt
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:45:54 AM EDT: and try to make it more easy to understand :)
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:47:59 AM EDT: can u say that: to find the no. of squares, u keep adding the consecutive numbers starting from 2
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:48:03 AM EDT: *1
 M M M M M M M
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:53:44 AM EDT: is that alright?
 M
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:54:02 AM EDT: yup
 M
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:54:45 AM EDT: wait should i change it back

 Aza2 5/26/06 9:55:45 AM EDT: i think her father is using the comp
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:55:50 AM EDT: so she doesnt noe wats going on
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:56:01 AM EDT: okay
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:56:12 AM EDT: poor sophia

 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:56:40 AM EDT: yes
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:56:52 AM EDT: do we have to explain the number of matchsticks
 nan 5/26/06 9:56:52 AM EDT: feel very sorry for her
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:57:22 AM EDT: It's getting late.
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:57:22 AM EDT: We should be looking at finishing up.
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:57:34 AM EDT: but we still need to find a  better and  more undrstandable method first before we sum that part up
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:57:44 AM EDT: sry
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:57:59 AM EDT: so i think we are almost done for this session
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:58:08 AM EDT: i guess we have no choice just finish it up quickly
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:58:21 AM EDT: at least one part seems reasonable
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:58:38 AM EDT: yeah
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:58:38 AM EDT: actually both are reasonable 
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:58:44 AM EDT: one is juz complicated
 Xinliang2 5/26/06 9:58:46 AM EDT: so we send it to the mentor?
 Aza2 5/26/06 9:58:54 AM EDT: i guess so
 rtoledosj 5/26/06 9:58:59 AM EDT: Yes.

 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. Bye
 tutor 6/4/06 7:44:20 PM EDT: We are trying to learn from these sessions how to make them more appealing to students.
 tutor 6/4/06 7:44:47 PM EDT: Glad to be of assistance. 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. Thanks
 tutor 6/4/06 7:51:58 PM EDT: This is our dream scenario.
 TBryant 6/4/06 7:52:27 PM EDT: That would be awesome!!

 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:10:36 AM EDT: hello
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:11:09 AM EDT: do we have a new topic?
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:11:17 AM EDT: the feedback is tt we should have a formula applicable to all values of N is it?
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:11:44 AM EDT: scroll down
 sophia 6/7/06 8:11:50 AM EDT: er,i think so
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:11:51 AM EDT: in the view topic
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:12:07 AM EDT: the instructions for session 2 and 3 are there
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:12:16 AM EDT: do we start a new topic
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:12:22 AM EDT: no
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:12:29 AM EDT: actually.... im not sure
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:12:37 AM EDT: then we continue on the same one
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:12:37 AM EDT: coz i dont understand wat they mean
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:12:55 AM EDT: the dunno wat new patterns etc
 sophia 6/7/06 8:13:10 AM EDT: we are to consider other polygons to do patterns
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:13:19 AM EDT: ok
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:13:26 AM EDT: i think we have to group similar numbers together
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:13:30 AM EDT: but we have to discuss feedback first right
 sophia 6/7/06 8:13:37 AM EDT: i understand-- to form patterns with other types of polygons
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:13:38 AM EDT: so tht it won't look so complicated
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:13:56 AM EDT: omg
 sophia 6/7/06 8:14:02 AM EDT: then, to get fomula for the patterns
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:14:11 AM EDT: ppl i dun understand wat's going on
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:14:13 AM EDT: the no. of sticks is so simple
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:14:34 AM EDT: its juz N(N+3)
 sophia 6/7/06 8:14:49 AM EDT: really?
 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 8:17:48 AM EDT: so yah
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:18:07 AM EDT: i feel so...
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:18:11 AM EDT: nvm
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:18:20 AM EDT: so my point is 
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:18:25 AM EDT: anw wat do we do next
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:18:30 AM EDT: there has got to be a simpler way for no. of squares
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:19:10 AM EDT: i have a really weird formula for no. of squares
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:19:32 AM EDT: i thought we already found the formula
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:19:43 AM EDT: its N times (N-1)(0.5)
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:19:51 AM EDT: they think its too complicated
 sophia 6/7/06 8:20:17 AM EDT: wait your that one cannot work for 1 square
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:20:17 AM EDT: they want a COMMON formula for ALL values of N
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:20:28 AM EDT: ur formula iirds kinda we
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:20:38 AM EDT: but let's try it out!!
 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...
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:27:26 AM EDT: but dun give up
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:27:31 AM EDT: we can do it!!
 sophia 6/7/06 8:28:18 AM EDT: yep
 sophia 6/7/06 8:28:19 AM EDT: 
 sophia 6/7/06 8:28:22 AM EDT: haha
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:28:36 AM EDT: yes ppl can we go on
 sophia 6/7/06 8:28:46 AM EDT: i agree man!
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:29:39 AM EDT: is it (n+1)
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:29:43 AM EDT: is the formula right?
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:29:54 AM EDT: can the formula on the whiteboard work?
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:30:05 AM EDT: sorry is it n
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:30:19 AM EDT: sorry tt's wrong too
 sophia 6/7/06 8:30:25 AM EDT: nope, i think the formula shld be 'longer'
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:30:30 AM EDT: i so wish i could write, its so much easier
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:30:39 AM EDT: mine is adding the consecutive no together
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:30:42 AM EDT: is the formula in the square right
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:30:46 AM EDT: the one i juz added
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:30:46 AM EDT: yeah
 M M
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:31:19 AM EDT: wats sophia doing
 sophia 6/7/06 8:31:36 AM EDT: er, some error
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:32:07 AM EDT: the whiteboard is so messy
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:32:10 AM EDT: i dun see anything
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:32:14 AM EDT: u know the formula we got the previous time?
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:32:19 AM EDT: it works
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:32:19 AM EDT: yah
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:32:29 AM EDT: they said u need a common formula
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:32:49 AM EDT: as in 
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:33:08 AM EDT: the formula shouldn't be like dependant on N
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:33:20 AM EDT: as in u noe wat is in between
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:33:26 AM EDT: do u get wat i mean?
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:33:37 AM EDT: no
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:33:37 AM EDT: 
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:33:38 AM EDT: u should noe all the values u r using
 sophia 6/7/06 8:33:39 AM EDT: i think couldit be (N+1)(N/2)
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:33:53 AM EDT: why
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:33:59 AM EDT: lets try
 sophia 6/7/06 8:34:10 AM EDT: er, i got that thing from pattern 3
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:35:04 AM EDT: ya but 4 pattern 1 u get a dec.
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:35:07 AM EDT: i think it works
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:35:16 AM EDT: yay!
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:35:20 AM EDT: it works

 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:35:48 AM EDT: how
 sophia 6/7/06 8:36:36 AM EDT: coz in pattern 3 rite, there is a odd number, which is 2, which is half of 1+3, so i got it
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:36:45 AM EDT: ppl can it work for pattern 1
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:36:57 AM EDT: yah its 2 times half
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:37:11 AM EDT: oh yes
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:37:35 AM EDT: WE GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Aza2 6/7/06 8:39:58 AM EDT: yup
 M
 sophia 6/7/06 8:40:18 AM EDT: just add a new colum to write thenew fomulas for the sticks and the squares
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:40:19 AM EDT: u cant erhinkase anything i t
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:40:30 AM EDT: *u can erase anything
 M M M M M M M M

 M M M M M
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:45:28 AM EDT: so aren't we done with this question
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:45:46 AM EDT: yes but we have to make the changes

 Aza2 6/7/06 8:47:52 AM EDT: oh
 sophia 6/7/06 8:47:56 AM EDT: wat do we do next?
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:48:08 AM EDT: discuss probs related to matchsticks?
 rtoledosj 6/7/06 8:48:26 AM EDT: At ths point, you can begin to think in terms of other patterns that you might want to explore.
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:48:38 AM EDT: we haf to work on qn 2 of section 2
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:48:46 AM EDT: is this the only question we are going to do?
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:49:23 AM EDT: u mean like pyramids etc made from matchsticks?
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:50:04 AM EDT: and polygons
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:50:16 AM EDT: so like pyramids using triangles
 sophia 6/7/06 8:50:36 AM EDT: wat do we do? isit think of the other pattern for other polygons?
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:50:55 AM EDT: maybe we should juz look through our primary sch problem sums
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:51:05 AM EDT: they ALWAYS used to give patterns
 sophia 6/7/06 8:51:24 AM EDT: haha 
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:51:33 AM EDT: and the legs one was another favourite
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:51:56 AM EDT: ppl do not digress

 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:52:49 AM EDT: it's about time already.
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:52:55 AM EDT: no we're supposed to discuss other patterns
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:52:59 AM EDT: i think
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:53:26 AM EDT: maybe a rectangle would be good
 sophia 6/7/06 8:53:41 AM EDT: hey, cool
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:53:44 AM EDT: u noe it is the same as a square
 sophia 6/7/06 8:53:46 AM EDT: lets try on that
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:53:55 AM EDT: ok
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:53:57 AM EDT: ok
 sophia 6/7/06 8:54:19 AM EDT: a rectangle made up of 6 sticks
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:54:23 AM EDT: or a parrellologram
 sophia 6/7/06 8:54:52 AM EDT: yep, but both of them has similar concepts
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:54:54 AM EDT: ppl.... did u see the VMT Wiki link
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:54:57 AM EDT: its freaky
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:55:13 AM EDT: the explanations they have there are so... complicated
 sophia 6/7/06 8:55:21 AM EDT: as in the number of sticks and no. of shapes
 sophia 6/7/06 8:55:38 AM EDT: you mean the pattern qns?
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:55:51 AM EDT: oh i understand
 Xinliang2 6/7/06 8:56:03 AM EDT: im sorry but i need to go already
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:56:09 AM EDT: we have to use sq. but in diff patterns
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:56:13 AM EDT: its ok
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:56:16 AM EDT: bye
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:56:37 AM EDT: ok xinliang but r u going tomorrow for lessons

 sophia 6/7/06 8:59:01 AM EDT: we need to wrap up the session 
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:59:13 AM EDT: maybe we should try to start on question 2
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 8:59:21 AM EDT: hello ppl i exist
 Aza2 6/7/06 8:59:26 AM EDT: or else session 3 will be a mad rush
 sophia 6/7/06 8:59:31 AM EDT: hi roohiya

 sophia 6/7/06 8:59:59 AM EDT: ok
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 9:00:08 AM EDT: on a different qn pls
 sophia 6/7/06 9:00:16 AM EDT: we've decided to do on rectangles rite?
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:00:20 AM EDT: truthfully, i still dont understand wat they want from us... as in do we concentrate on a prob of our own or many problems
 rtoledosj 6/7/06 9:00:21 AM EDT: Are you all working from your homes?
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:00:30 AM EDT: yup
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 9:00:34 AM EDT: yes
 sophia 6/7/06 9:00:35 AM EDT: er, ya
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:00:46 AM EDT: y?
 rtoledosj 6/7/06 9:01:26 AM EDT: If somebody still has to go home from school, that may mean that we really need to end soon.
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 9:01:48 AM EDT: sorry?
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:01:55 AM EDT: its actually our holidays so i dont think any1 would stay till so late in sch
 rtoledosj 6/7/06 9:02:02 AM EDT: The idea is for you to come up with your own problems to explore.
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 9:02:12 AM EDT: and it is 9 at night now
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:02:14 AM EDT: ok
 sophia 6/7/06 9:02:21 AM EDT: yep, i agree too
 sophia 6/7/06 9:03:06 AM EDT: anw, shall we try those qn that is non pattern?
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:03:14 AM EDT: we could get started on the rectangle and the next session try something else, like 3d
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 9:03:36 AM EDT: ok
 sophia 6/7/06 9:03:42 AM EDT: hmmm, i dont mind that
 sophia 6/7/06 9:03:59 AM EDT: a rectangle has 6 sticks
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 9:04:11 AM EDT: ya
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:04:13 AM EDT: so that will be fig. 1
 sophia 6/7/06 9:04:26 AM EDT: 2rectangles have 10 sticks 
 sophia 6/7/06 9:04:36 AM EDT: they are stacked 
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 9:04:47 AM EDT: we need more space in the whiteboard
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:04:53 AM EDT: actually they would have more
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:05:01 AM EDT: coz they need to look similar
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:05:10 AM EDT: if u stack them, they wont look similar
 M
 sophia 6/7/06 9:05:18 AM EDT: can we draw on the board?
 M
 sophia 6/7/06 9:05:31 AM EDT: oh, i see
 M M
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 9:05:42 AM EDT: tt's why there i s no space
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:05:45 AM EDT: c wat i mean
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:05:50 AM EDT: they dont look similar
 M
 sophia 6/7/06 9:05:57 AM EDT: or we make like the sq thingy?
 M M M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:06:09 AM EDT: shouldnt it be like this
 M M M M M M M M M M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:07:16 AM EDT: wat i mean is... fig 1 should have a similar shape to fig 2 and fig 2 to fig 3 etc
 Roohiya2 6/7/06 9:07:23 AM EDT: ppl wat r we doing
 M M M M M M M
 sophia 6/7/06 9:07:42 AM EDT: i c....
 M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M
 rtoledosj 6/7/06 9:08:52 AM EDT: You can erase some of th drawings that you have on the whiteboard to have more space for new drawings.
 M M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:08:58 AM EDT: something like tt
 M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:09:09 AM EDT: u guys wanna erase the old drawing
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:09:14 AM EDT: more space 
 M M
 sophia 6/7/06 9:09:25 AM EDT: yep
 M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M
 rtoledosj 6/7/06 9:11:15 AM EDT: You can always look at what the whiteboard was like by using the whiteboard scroll button at the left of the screen. It's that thing which is close to '2005-2006 fraunhofer' at the lower left of the screen. 
 M M M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:11:35 AM EDT: oh
 M M M M M M M
 rtoledosj 6/7/06 9:12:19 AM EDT: You move that thing up and you see what the whiteboard looked like before you changed it.
 sophia 6/7/06 9:12:19 AM EDT: did you see that?
 M M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:12:39 AM EDT: c wat?
 M M M
 sophia 6/7/06 9:13:16 AM EDT: by scrolling the round buttons, you can see the changes
 sophia 6/7/06 9:13:20 AM EDT: done b4
 M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:13:29 AM EDT: oh

 sophia 6/7/06 9:18:51 AM EDT: the fomula for that one is 6+5+4+3
 M M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:19:01 AM EDT: that one?
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:19:04 AM EDT: which one?
 M M M
 sophia 6/7/06 9:19:37 AM EDT: for ther picture you drew for fig 2
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:19:46 AM EDT: oh
 M M M M
 sophia 6/7/06 9:20:25 AM EDT: the no of rectangles is N^2
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:20:27 AM EDT: the no. of rectangles is simple
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:20:31 AM EDT: yup
 M M M
 sophia 6/7/06 9:21:31 AM EDT: but i fig 3, the no of sticks is funny, as in the pattern
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:22:06 AM EDT: i noe the pattern is very weirdly drawn but i did it in a hurry
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:22:11 AM EDT: can u count the no of sticks and check
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:22:20 AM EDT: i might have counted wrongly
 sophia 6/7/06 9:22:28 AM EDT: i mean the pattern for the number of sticks
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:23:07 AM EDT: oh tt
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:23:29 AM EDT: u want me to draw fig 4 so tt its easier to spot a pattern?
 sophia 6/7/06 9:23:46 AM EDT: yep you can try
 M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:26:10 AM EDT: all are multiples of 6
 sophia 6/7/06 9:26:12 AM EDT: for fig 3 rite, it's 42sticks
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:26:19 AM EDT: really
 M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:27:43 AM EDT: im still getting 36... how?
 M M M M M M
 sophia 6/7/06 9:27:55 AM EDT: the formula is 2(N)(N+1)+(N)(N+1)
 M M M M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:28:25 AM EDT: isnt tt the same as 3(N)(N+1)
 M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M
 sophia 6/7/06 9:28:55 AM EDT: oh, ya
 M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:30:15 AM EDT: so wats the right no. of matchsticks in fig 3?
 sophia 6/7/06 9:30:33 AM EDT: er, i got 42
 sophia 6/7/06 9:31:13 AM EDT: theres 4 of the 6 sticks and 4 of the 3sticks
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:31:29 AM EDT: u still getting 42... im still getting 36
 M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:31:35 AM EDT: wait lemme count again
 sophia 6/7/06 9:31:53 AM EDT: wait i got 36 too
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:32:01 AM EDT: u did?
 sophia 6/7/06 9:32:10 AM EDT: sry
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:32:24 AM EDT: u noe wat
 sophia 6/7/06 9:32:26 AM EDT: i sort of counted wrongly i think
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:32:32 AM EDT: its similar to our prev pattern
 sophia 6/7/06 9:32:47 AM EDT: in what way?
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:33:02 AM EDT: wait
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:33:07 AM EDT: ill show on the whiteboard
 M M M M M M M
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:35:03 AM EDT: the pattern for the no. of matchsticks is simply the (no. of squares in the other one) times 6
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:35:45 AM EDT: so we have two formulas
 sophia 6/7/06 9:36:00 AM EDT: and they are...
 sophia 6/7/06 9:36:12 AM EDT: coz i still dont gettit
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:36:19 AM EDT: 3(N)(N+1) and 6(N+1)(N/2)
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:36:31 AM EDT: which is the same thing
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:36:36 AM EDT: nvm
 sophia 6/7/06 9:36:40 AM EDT: yep
 sophia 6/7/06 9:37:13 AM EDT: any, i got to go now, sry......
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:37:26 AM EDT: wat i meant was tt the no. of squares is equal to the no. of GROUPS OF 6 matchsticks
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:37:26 AM EDT: ok
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:37:31 AM EDT: then even i better go
 Aza2 6/7/06 9:38:03 AM EDT: np bb

 rtoledosj leaves the room 6/8/06 8:10:59 AM EDT
 sophia 6/8/06 8:12:06 AM EDT: the no. of sticks for the rectangleis 3N(N+1)
 sophia 6/8/06 8:12:27 AM EDT: and the no. of rectangles is N^2
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 8:13:05 AM EDT: how do u test it out?
 nan joins the room 6/8/06 8:13:06 AM EDT
 sophia 6/8/06 8:13:31 AM EDT: we saw the pattern

 Xinliang2 6/8/06 8:19:50 AM EDT: can we try the triangles?
 rtoledosj joins the room 6/8/06 8:19:52 AM EDT
 sophia 6/8/06 8:19:58 AM EDT: ok
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 8:20:50 AM EDT: so now we find the pattern for the no. of sticks use alright?
 sophia 6/8/06 8:21:03 AM EDT: yep
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 8:21:15 AM EDT: do u know how to extend the whiteboard space?

 nan 6/8/06 8:36:30 AM EDT: i suspect if she's having technical problem
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 8:36:43 AM EDT: nan, how come i cant seem to write on the whiteboard?
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 8:36:53 AM EDT: i'll go and call her
 nan 6/8/06 8:37:21 AM EDT: can you check if the history bar on the left is scrolled all the way down to the bottom?
 nan 6/8/06 8:37:33 AM EDT: which means the status is current?
 nan 6/8/06 8:37:52 AM EDT: if it's not, you cannot perform actions on the board
 nan 6/8/06 8:37:57 AM EDT: ok
 sophia leaves the room 6/8/06 8:39:58 AM EDT

 sophia 6/8/06 8:47:55 AM EDT: i think the pattern sld be like that, to have similar figures while increasing the number
 M M M
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 8:48:27 AM EDT: oooh
 M
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 8:48:33 AM EDT: i tink you are right

 M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 8:50:47 AM EDT: is the pattern for the no. of triangles N^2?
 M
 sophia 6/8/06 8:50:55 AM EDT: yep
 sophia 6/8/06 8:51:27 AM EDT: anw, despite my ugly diagram the pattern sld beclear
 M M M M M M M

 M M M M M M M M M M M M
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 8:55:21 AM EDT: is it like that?
 sophia 6/8/06 8:55:29 AM EDT: ahhhh, herecomes our pattern 3
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 8:55:37 AM EDT: it looks kind of unproportional
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 8:55:38 AM EDT: hhaha
 sophia 6/8/06 8:55:59 AM EDT: anw, as long as it is clear, will do

 sophia 6/8/06 9:03:05 AM EDT: yep
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 9:03:16 AM EDT: sophia, we can also draw out the 4th pattern
 rtoledosj 6/8/06 9:03:23 AM EDT: XInliang and Sophia, are you using a dial-up line?
 Xinliang2 6/8/06 9:03:42 AM EDT: no, im not using

 rtoledosj 6/9/06 7:42:22 AM EDT: Hi Sophia!
 sophia 6/9/06 7:43:14 AM EDT: hello
 sophia 6/9/06 7:43:31 AM EDT: i went for dinner just now
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 7:44:59 AM EDT: You were having technical problems before. Everything ok now?
 sophia 6/9/06 7:45:21 AM EDT: yep its ok now
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 7:45:46 AM EDT: While we're waiting for the rest, can you describe what happened?
 sophia 6/9/06 7:46:54 AM EDT: er, the board seems to be lagging and it took about a few minutes to see teh changes like erasing stuffs from the board
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 7:49:31 AM EDT: What about the text box? Was it also lagging?
 sophia 6/9/06 7:49:41 AM EDT: yes
 sophia 6/9/06 7:49:54 AM EDT: er, as in the chatbox
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 7:51:08 AM EDT: Was the lag worse as you stayed longer in the session or was it about the same throughout?
 sophia 6/9/06 7:51:33 AM EDT: as i stayed longer in the session
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 7:52:57 AM EDT: Yesterday, you had to log out or got logged out several times. Everytime you re-entered did the system become better compared to when you logged out?
 sophia 6/9/06 7:53:49 AM EDT: yes, the system became better when i re-entered 
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 7:55:50 AM EDT: Can you say then, that the earlier session, I mean Session 2, had less lag compared to Session 3?
 sophia 6/9/06 7:56:30 AM EDT: yes
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 7:57:41 AM EDT: That's very interesting. Now we have a better idea of what seems to be happening.
 sophia 6/9/06 7:57:59 AM EDT: er, ya
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 7:59:02 AM EDT: Do you know if your companions were having a similar experience with the system?
 sophia 6/9/06 8:00:04 AM EDT: erm i'm not sure, but i'm sure that they had technical problems yesterday, as in their board were lagging
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:00:56 AM EDT: Were you using the same computer for all the sessions?
 sophia 6/9/06 8:01:30 AM EDT: yep
 Xinliang2 joins the room 6/9/06 8:02:03 AM EDT
 sophia 6/9/06 8:02:13 AM EDT: hi
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:03:01 AM EDT: I recall that you had serious technical problems during the first session, but very few during the second session. Did you make any changes to your computer between the first and the seconsd session?
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:03:11 AM EDT: Hi Xinliang!
 sophia 6/9/06 8:03:55 AM EDT: hang on, i used my home computer in the first session but for the rest ofteh sessions, i used my tablet pc
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:04:48 AM EDT: it takes so long to load the whiteboard
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:04:49 AM EDT: Which is the newer PC, the home or tablet?
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:05:07 AM EDT: You were having problems, too?
 sophia 6/9/06 8:05:35 AM EDT: the tablet is newer
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:05:57 AM EDT: Is it also a more powerful machine?
 sophia 6/9/06 8:06:26 AM EDT: er, i'm not sure
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:06:44 AM EDT: Is the home computer at least three years old?
 sophia 6/9/06 8:06:53 AM EDT: yep
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:07:09 AM EDT: And the tablet is less than a year old?
 sophia 6/9/06 8:07:16 AM EDT: yep
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:07:32 AM EDT: Both are running Windows XP?
 sophia 6/9/06 8:07:45 AM EDT: yep
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:07:47 AM EDT: hello!!
 sophia 6/9/06 8:07:57 AM EDT: but different edision
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:08:02 AM EDT: I guess, we can start.
 sophia 6/9/06 8:08:11 AM EDT: ok
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:08:14 AM EDT: oh.
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:08:29 AM EDT: ok
 sophia 6/9/06 8:08:44 AM EDT: so,shall we start?
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:08:48 AM EDT: Ok, Sophia, thank you for the info regarding the computers.
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:08:54 AM EDT: Yes, you can start.
 sophia 6/9/06 8:09:04 AM EDT: aha
 sophia 6/9/06 8:09:08 AM EDT: *haha
 sophia 6/9/06 8:09:30 AM EDT: anw, we stopped on the part where we were doing the triangles
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:09:43 AM EDT: finding the no of sticks used
 sophia 6/9/06 8:10:19 AM EDT: yep
 sophia 6/9/06 8:10:34 AM EDT: but i cant see the connection between them 
 M M
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:11:12 AM EDT: sophia do u know where's roohiya and aza?
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:11:22 AM EDT: didnt' see them in school today too
 sophia 6/9/06 8:11:28 AM EDT: i saw aza in the online list
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:12:22 AM EDT: i asked her to go to our room
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:12:34 AM EDT: then how about roohiya?
 sophia 6/9/06 8:12:43 AM EDT: ok, but she seems not reacting
 sophia 6/9/06 8:12:55 AM EDT: shes not online yet
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:13:05 AM EDT: ok
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:13:11 AM EDT: let's go back to the topic
 sophia 6/9/06 8:13:20 AM EDT: ok
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:13:27 AM EDT: the no of sticks are in the multiples of 3
 sophia 6/9/06 8:13:36 AM EDT: yep
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:14:32 AM EDT: we have to find a connection between 3 and the pattern no
 sophia 6/9/06 8:14:55 AM EDT: yep
 Roohiya2 joins the room 6/9/06 8:18:10 AM EDT
 sophia 6/9/06 8:18:19 AM EDT: i still cant geddit
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:18:20 AM EDT: hi
 sophia 6/9/06 8:18:29 AM EDT: hi
 rtoledosj 6/9/06 8:18:41 AM EDT: Hi Roohiya.
 Roohiya2 leaves the room 6/9/06 8:20:16 AM EDT
 sophia 6/9/06 8:20:27 AM EDT: the difference in the no. of sticks increases by 3 as the pattern increase
 Roohiya2 joins the room 6/9/06 8:20:29 AM EDT
 M M M M M M M
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:21:16 AM EDT: we have to find a simpler method
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:21:34 AM EDT: has it got to do with the no of triangles?
 sophia 6/9/06 8:21:53 AM EDT: yep, should be
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:23:37 AM EDT: may i know wat is happening
 sophia 6/9/06 8:24:15 AM EDT: eh, we did the pattern on rectangle and triangles and technical problems happened
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:24:18 AM EDT: by the way how did u ppl know tt there was a session yesterday?
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:25:11 AM EDT: we are finding the no of sticks used for triangle
 sophia 6/9/06 8:25:28 AM EDT: coz we went to sch yesterday and ms chua told us of the session for yesterday
 sophia 6/9/06 8:25:49 AM EDT: then we cant reach aza yesterday
 M
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:27:41 AM EDT: the fig so u r trying tiangles
 sophia 6/9/06 8:27:53 AM EDT: yep
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:28:27 AM EDT: do we hv to use the same no. of triangles for each fig.
 sophia 6/9/06 8:28:58 AM EDT: eh what do you mean?
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:30:47 AM EDT: roohiya i don't understand too
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:31:57 AM EDT: no of triangles will be n^2
 sophia 6/9/06 8:32:12 AM EDT: er, ya
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:32:26 AM EDT: yes
 sophia 6/9/06 8:32:50 AM EDT: 3N+3(N+2)
 sophia 6/9/06 8:33:40 AM EDT: could be the fomula for the triangle
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:33:51 AM EDT: let's try out
 sophia 6/9/06 8:34:13 AM EDT: but it does not work for pattern 1
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:35:00 AM EDT: we are always stuck at 1st patterm
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:36:09 AM EDT: 3(n+1)(n/2)
 sophia 6/9/06 8:36:12 AM EDT: as in can that formula work for the rest of the patter?
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:36:20 AM EDT: is it right
 sophia 6/9/06 8:36:28 AM EDT: huh?
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:37:10 AM EDT: do we need to draw the 5th pattern?
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:37:24 AM EDT: is tt the right formula
 sophia 6/9/06 8:37:28 AM EDT: noneed, its clear enough  to spot the pattern 
 sophia 6/9/06 8:37:50 AM EDT: i think the formula works only at figure 4
 sophia 6/9/06 8:38:08 AM EDT: the rest of the patten does not work in that formula
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:38:11 AM EDT: NO IT DOESN'T          IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:38:24 AM EDT: it doesn't work for 3rd pattern 
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:38:47 AM EDT: it doesn't work in odd no. 
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:38:53 AM EDT: it will  give a decimal
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:38:57 AM EDT: CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 sophia 6/9/06 8:39:09 AM EDT: really?
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:39:09 AM EDT: IT WORKS!!!!!!!!
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:39:41 AM EDT: try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 sophia 6/9/06 8:39:51 AM EDT: ok
 sophia 6/9/06 8:40:13 AM EDT: anw, since it works, shall we try other patterns? like 3d figures 
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:40:30 AM EDT: congrats roohiya!!!
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:40:32 AM EDT: yay!!
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:40:51 AM EDT: 3(n+1)(n/2)
 sophia 6/9/06 8:40:53 AM EDT: er, which fomula are you using?
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:41:05 AM EDT: it is aza's formula
 sophia 6/9/06 8:41:18 AM EDT: oh, i see
 sophia 6/9/06 8:41:25 AM EDT: it really works anw
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:42:11 AM EDT: so wat should we do now
 sophia 6/9/06 8:42:49 AM EDT: lets try 3Dfigure, shall we?
 M
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:43:02 AM EDT: i wrote it down
 Xinliang2 6/9/06 8:46:17 AM EDT: so wad are we doing now?
 sophia 6/9/06 8:46:32 AM EDT: lets try 3d figs
 sophia 6/9/06 8:46:46 AM EDT: like cubes
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:47:10 AM EDT: for the 3D fig. we find out the no. of faces and wat?
 Roohiya2 6/9/06 8:47:43 AM EDT: 
 sophia 6/9/06 8:47:50 AM EDT: and theno. of cubes and sticks used
