Plan for August 31, 2007
Step I. (5 minutes) I heard a wonderful math equation related to the word FEAR.
FEAR=FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL
Also humanity recently discovered that what FDR (Franklin Roosevelt) said in his first inaugural address WAS NOT TRUE. Do you know why?
(see http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5057/)
Step II:
We divide into two groups (20 minutes) Mike explores Magic squares See for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_square
Dani explores about the meaning of the number 0.
Nothing means actually something but really it is No-Thing.
Step III: Conversation with the whole class.
Step IV: Assignment for next Wednesday is to write a response to this using this Blog. What did you learn from the lesson today. If you are so inspired you can also use one of the journal topics that ed suggested in. Converse about another meaningful assignment that you will choose.
