Noticings on Team B's Session II

The team members start orienting to "yesterday's stuff" from reading the feedback but soon, such orientation is very much their own and a lot of relevancies from that prior work emerge of their interactions. One that seems specially interesting to me, is the "re-use" of prior group reasoning procedures as in the case of "breaking figures down" into sub-components to figure out number of sticks and squares. That reasoning strategy was central to their work on Session I and it re-appears here in Session II:

 bwang8 5/10/06 7:30:07 PM EDT: ok, how do we figure that out
 p M
 bwang8 5/10/06 7:30:17 PM EDT: 3*3 blocks
 p M
 Quicksilver 5/10/06 7:30:26 PM EDT: Break it down
 Aznx 5/10/06 7:30:27 PM EDT: I'd say look for a pattern.
 p M
 Aznx 5/10/06 7:30:33 PM EDT: and yes, break it down.

There is no magic, however. They need to work out what the "breaking down" of their 3D figure means, and how to use "yesterday's work" today. Interestingly at the end, when they get to work on what they would put on the Wiki, Aznx states that "technically" they got the same result in this session as in the previous one:

Aznx 5/10/06 8:04:53 PM EDT: We technically had the same result.
Quicksilver 5/10/06 8:05:07 PM EDT: Whaddya mean?
Quicksilver 5/10/06 8:05:21 PM EDT: oh as yesterday?
Aznx 5/10/06 8:05:31 PM EDT: Yeah.
Aznx 5/10/06 8:05:36 PM EDT: And today.
Quicksilver 5/10/06 8:05:40 PM EDT: Still...
Aznx 5/10/06 8:05:43 PM EDT: Well today was really a discussion.
