Hi!  I appreciate your message on Channel 2 but this channel is set 
aside for a special MathMagics project.  Would be glad to help you if 
you want information on it but otherwise it might be better to post 
your general messages elsewhere.  Thanks!

HOW DO STUDENTS WORK ON A PROBLEM?
    1.  Simply log on to FidoNet on the first day of the
        problem cycle.
    2.  Choose MathMagic Channel which is     .
    3.  Problems will be posted in a message addressed to
        "All."  Subject line will indicate cycle number
        and corresponding dates.  For example: " Subject:
        Cycle 1 - Sept 8-18" means problems are for Cycle 1
        with a starting date of Sept. 8 and solution format
        due date of Sept. 18.
    4.  Look at the problem for your grade level.
    5.  Get out the thinking cap and begin to discuss
        strategies with students in your grade level from
        around the world.  Enter messages, share ideas, work
        towards a solution while discovering new friends
        from within your city, other states, and even other
        nations.  IMPORTANT:  Your first message must
        indicate your grade level and whether you are
        working as a team or individual.  All teams must
        list names of team members for proper credit as well
        as the sponsoring school, if applicable.  As this
        information is received by MathMagic management,
        updated postings will be made available, listing
        participants in team and individual categories by
        grade level to help you locate other students with
        whom you can discuss the current problem.
    6.  For helpful hints on problem solving, read message
        titled "Problem Solving Help."
HOW DO WE SUBMIT OUR SOLUTIONS?
Solutions are turned in on the last day of the problem cycle
and are written in a specific format.  This format is:
    1.  State the problem, listing the knowns and unknowns
        and any assumptions which are made.
    2.  Explain the strategy, or strategies.  Suggested
        strategies are:
        a.  Work a simpler case and apply.
        b.  Look for a pattern to apply.
        c.  Make a wild guess and check your answer.
        d.  Make a table, chart, or diagram; use a model.
        e.  Label known parts and unknown parts with
            variables.
        f.  Write an equation relating the knowns and
            unknowns.
        g.  Work backwards.
        h.  Work for a subgoal.
        i.  Find a related problem or strategy you can
            apply.
        j.  If all else fails, act it out.

     WE KNOW THAT JOHN HAS 12 TABLES WITH SQUARE TABLE TABLE
TOPS, EACH TABLE CAN SIT ONE PERSON ON EACH SIDE SO ONE TABLE
CAN SIT FOUR PEOPLE. TWO TABLES NEXT TO EACH OTHER CAN SIT
SIX PEOPLE. HOW CAN JOHN ARRANGE THE TWELVE TABLES TO SIT:
A)AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE?
B)AS FEW PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE?
C)WHAT ARRANGEMENT PROVIDES THE GREATEST AMOUNTOF TABLE TOP
SPACE?
     WE KNOW THAT JOHN HAS TWELVE TABLES WITH SQUARE TABLE
TOPS, AND THAT EACH TABLE CAN SIT ONE PERSON ON EACH SIDE. WE
KNOW THAT FOUR PEOPLE CAN SIT ON EACH TABLE. WE KNOW THAT TWO
TABLES NEXT TO EACH OTHER CAN SIT SIX PEOPLE. WE KNOW WE ARE
LOOKING FOR AN ARRANGEMENT OF TABLES THAT CAN SIT AS MANY
PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE. WE ARE ALSO LOOKING FOR THE ARRANGEMENT
OF TABLES THAT PROVIDES THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF TABLE TOP
SPACE.
     TO FIND HOW JOHN CAN SIT AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE WE
HAD MANY STRATEGIES. OUR FIRST STRATEGY WAS TO PLACE EACH
TABLE TOGETHER SO JOHN CAN SIT TWENTY-FOUR PEOPLE. BUT, IN
STRATEGIES TWO WE FOUND THAT JOHN CAN ALSO SIT ONE PERSON ,
ON EACH SIDE, TO SEAT TWENTY-SIX PEOPLE. FOR STRATEGY THREE
WE DREW EXAMPLES OF STRATEGIES ONE AND TWO. WE DREW TWELVE
SQARES LINED UP TOGETHER TO SYMBOLIZE TWELVE TABLES AND ON
THE SIDES OF THE TABLES WE DREW DOTS WHICH SYMBOLIZE PEOPLE.
FOR STRATEGY FOUR WE THOUGHT IF YOU PLACE TWO TABLES NEXT TO
EACH OTHER AND PUT ONE PERSON ON EACH SIDE, JOHN CAN SIT
THIRTY-SIX PEOPLE. THIS WORKED BECAUSE WE DREW THE TABLES IN
PAIRS. WHICH MADE SIX RECTANGULAR TABLES, THEN WE FOUND OUR
SOLUTION IN STRATEGY FIVE, WE PLACED AND DREW EACH TABLE
SEPERATELY FROM EACH OTHER. TO SEAT FOUR PEOPLE AT EVERY
TABLE. THIS WORKED BECAUSE NOW WE CAN SIT FORTY-EIGHT PEOPLE.
     TO ANSWER THE QUESTION HOW WE CAN SIT AS FEW PEOPLE AS
POSSIBLE, WE DID MANY DRAWINGS. IN DRAWING ONE WE PLACED THE
TWELVE TABLES TO FORM A SQARE LIKE SHAPE, WHICH WE SEATED
FOURTEEN PEOPLE. IN DRAWING TWO WE PLACED THE TWELVE TABLES
INTO A CIRCLE FORMATION, WHICH WORKED BECAUSE WE CAN NOW SEAT
TWELVE PEOPLE.
    TO FIND WHAT ARRANGEMENT PROVIDES THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF
TABLE TOP SPACE WE ALSO DREW EXAMPLES. WE DREW THE TABLES
INTO A SQUARE FORMATION. WE FOUND THIS TO BE THE CORRECT
ANSWER TO THE QUESTION WHAT IS THE ARRANGEMENT TO PROVIDE THE
GREATEST AMOUNT OF TABLE TOP SPACE.

                    GUIDE TO MATHMAGIC
WELCOME TO MATHMAGIC!
WHAT IS MATHMAGIC?
MathMagic allows students from around the world with
students from other schools to solve math problems with each
other using computers and modems to communicate.
WHO MAY PARTICIPATE?
Participation is open to any student in grades K-12, either
on an individual or team basis.  Teams, if desired, may be
formed by teachers incorporating MathMagic in their class-
rooms.  Communication may occur between individual and teams
but solutions will be evaluated in separate categories.
WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS WILL BE GIVEN?
Problems chosen as MathMagic problems will be based on the
following criteria:
    1.  They capture student interest and imagination.
    2.  The solution is not immediately obvious.
    3.  The problem can be solved using more than one
        strategy.
    4.  The problem is within the computational skill level
        of the student(s).
    5.  The solution time is reasonable.
    6.  There may be more than one solution.
    7.  The solution is defined well enough so that students
        know when a solution has been reached.
NOTE:  Problems may be submitted for consideration by any
and all interested parties by simply addressing them to:
Carol Hooper, (1:381/64).
HOW OFTEN WILL WE GET PROBLEMS TO SOLVE?
Problems will be issued during two-week periods called
"problem cycles".  The entire cycle covers the time from the
day you get the problem to the day the problem is due to be
turned in to MathMagic.  A time line will be posted on the
MathMagic Channel    with this information.

I. The problem is to fill in the blanks with numbers that work with the equal
sign.
 
II. Our strategy was to begin filling in the blanks with all kinds of diferent 
numbers.
Peter said this could go on forever and the class agreed. Peter said it works
because of infinity.  We looked up the word infinity and it said
"indefinitely, large quantity". That's why it goes on and on. I (Katie) was
writing down the class solushons on paper and I noticed that when we used zero 
in the first blank, 8 worked in the second; and then 1, 9 and 2, 10 and 3, 11
until I saw a pattern on the left that started with zero and goes one number
higher at a time. On the right side starting with 8 it goes one number higher
at a time. Audrey found that negative numbers contine the pattern backwards by 
looking at a number line. Such as -1,7; -2,6; -3,5; etc.  The class said that
there are infinity answers because they go on and on forever.
 
0 + 5 = 8 - 3
1 + 5 = 9 - 3
2 + 5 = 10 - 3
3 + 5 = 11 - 3
4 + 5 = 12 - 3
5 + 5 = 13 - 3
6 + 5 = 14 - 3
7 + 5 = 15 - 3
8 + 5 = 16 - 3
and so on
-1 + 5 = 7 - 3
-2 + 5 = 6 - 3
-3 + 5 = 5 - 3
-4 + 5 = 5 - 4
-5 + 5 = 5 - 5
and so on

Hi All!  In answer to the request for a sample
problem, I include the following.  The problem was
a .gif file and was stated as such.
(Please note:  this is a very rough take-off of the
.Gif file and not using actual measurements that
Carli was working with.  Also, FYI, Carli is a 10
year old student who just completed the fifth grade
at the time this problem was completed.  A QUESTION
ON THE ANGLE OF A ROOF
       /\
     /    \    <- This roof had a very steep slope.
   /        \
 /____________\      *Because of the difficulty of
  |           |      drawing House A, I will simply
  | House B   |      state that it had a much
  |___________|      smaller slope and was wider
                     with the exact same
                     rectangular base.  I apologize
                     for not having the picture
                     here.
The question:  Which house, A or B, has the
strongest roof?  What is the mathematical
difference between the two roofs?
             STUDENT'S WRITTEN SOLUTION
From: Carli hooper
To: all
Date: 08-01-92 12:14:57
Subject: Final solution!
  I'm going to begin by stating the problem.  Next
I'm going to explain the thoughts that first came
into my mind to try and come up with a solution.
Finally I'm going to explain the conclusion Please
Enjoy!
  I started out with two roofs.  I needed to figure
out which roof was the strongest.  Both roofs are
quite different.  I also needed to measure the
roofs and come up with a mathematical difference.
I first thought of airconditioners and how they
would affect the roof.  Soon after I thought the
bigger the house the bigger the airconditioner and
the way it would make the roof weaker.  Then I was
wondering about rain.  I was wondering if the rain
would damage the roofs.  I also thought of tiles.
The roof could be made of cheap tiles.  The last
thing I thought of was when each house had its last
repairs on the roof.  For example: There was a big
hailstorm, and both roofs were badly damaged .  One
house had its repairs one week later and another
had its repairs one year later.  The roof that had
its repairs soonest would have a stronger roof for
at least a year.      see next message....

Dear Carol,  The four sixth graders who worked on this problem are Amber
Copeland, Josh Sherven, Cedar Pfennig, and Jarred Eckstrom.
	We are given 12 tables with square tops.  Four people can sit at a
table, one on each side.  If tables are pushed together, people cannot sit
where tables meet.
	Question A:  How can the tables be arranged to seat as many people
as possible?
	We took 12 square tiles and moved them around our work space.  We 
assumed there was lots of floor space, so the tables could be separated.  
Then 4 x 12 = 48 people.  That is the most people that can be seated.
	Question B:  How can the tables be arranged to seat as many people
as possible?
	We assumed we could tilt tables sideways and build a tower straight up.
Then no one could use the tables.  We built a neat tower with the 12 tiles.
	Question B:  What arrangement provides the greatest amount of table top
space?
	Again we moved the tiles into different spaces.  We made a giant rec-
tangle.  3 x 4 = 12 square tables.  We assumed we no longer cared about people,
but just about the space used by the 12 tables.  No matter how we moved the 
tables we still had 12 square table tops.
						Sincerely,
						Amber, Josh, Cedar & Jarred  
	
... Help stamp out, eliminate and abolish redundancy!

     I just wanted to thank you forhosting this area and how much my students are enjoying the project.  Only two groups have sent their messages.  We are having modem problems at my school and think if might be related to the phone line.  Hopefully this will be resolved before the end of  the week and the other groupswill be able to report their results.  Again thank you for thinking of this project.

Hi John,
How are you?  Speaking of the weather . . . .it has been rather warm
up hear for September, in the 70's.   Our teachers' association is push-
ing for Clinton because of of do-nothing Education President Bush.
I am waiting to see what happens during November.  
How do you connect to Internet?  I am just learning about this network
and read an article yesterday that says that over 30 countries around
the world are connected and several million people use it.  Fascinating!
Got to run, catch you later.
