     Why not make it an area for teachers to discuss working together.  I have been looking for another class to work together with mine on projects or experiments, or whatever.  Maybe there is someone out there looking for a class to work with as well.  If not joint projects, teaching methods.

Congratulations on being appointed coordinator Terry. K12 is rapidly expanding down here- we now have the Maths advisor, Bruce Beath on board. The main problem I am finding is keeping up with the inflow of material. Very good response from local parents when they see their children keen on writing to contacts overseas.

G'day Jim and Mike,

Try this SS for stds.

You work in the office of a concrete pipe manufacturer. They only make
three different lengths of pipe (say 3, 5 and 7 yards/metres). There
are three different wall thickness to each of the pipes that we make.
This is so that we use them for different purposes. The concrete material
is constant for all our pipes, say 1 cubic yard/metre weighs in at one
ton/tonne, or some such figure.

Our customers when they phone in their orders always want to know how
much their order weighs as they have to arrange the pick-up of their
pipesand their transport haulage company always wants to know the
weight.

Draw up a SS which will, when the number of pipes is punched in tell us
at a glance how much the order weight and how many pipes there are.

I use MS Works an I find it a good one for new users. They have to use
absolute references to solve it.

I will send you a good sports type db for stds when I get back to
school.

ooroo

Hi Stephen- Always good to meet another Kiwi. As this channel is reserved for a specific purpose, maybe we could chat on K12 Parent/Teacher only Chat. Use of K12 is really getting under way down here in Otago and you will see several schools corresponding. Spring bulbs are well established and paddocks are full of well grown lambs and calves. Guy Fawkes day tomorrow- with the usual warnings- especially this year to some university students who went a bit far last year. I met an Andrew parsloe yesterday- in





 the Dundein public Library- no relation I suppose.

students really enjoy the little excursions.  Would it be possible for
you to post BB #1-5 again as I got into this stuff a little late so have a
bit of a gap.  I managed to locate the others but need 1-5 to complete the

It would be fine to use it for grants and Freebies. Both are of interest to teachers. I'd be happy to write a header this weekend and dump several

Other teachers can then add ones that they have collected or know about.

Please!  Keep me posted on grants.  I'm looking for funds for a science camp for my grade 5 and 6 student and need about $8000.00 all told.  I'm approaching as many companies as possible, but of course they've already got their budget passed out.

will land facing "heads" up?
*************************
Grade Level 3-4
Carol has 45  cents in change. What possible coins  could she have

Ted has 20 coins which are all dimes and nickels.  Some of these coins,
                                                   ^^^^

Underneath many city streets, there are tunnels and man-made holes for
drainage, electrical lines, phone lines, and so forth.  These
"manholes" are covered with large, heavy, metal covers on the street.
The covers could be many different shapes, such as squares,  circles,

Grade Level 7-8
Let's assign each letter of the alphabet a dollar value based on its
position in the alphabet. Let A=$1, B=$2, C=$3, D=$4,...up to  Y=$25,
Z=$26.  When we assign values to letters like this we create
"variables." Now we can find the dollar value of words, using algebra.
For example, the word CAB is worth $6, because CAB = 3x1x2 = 6 (notice
we mutiply the value of the letters together, since in algebra when
variables are next to each other they are multiplied).  Now can you
find A) the dollar value of "MathMagic" B) the dollar value of the name
of your school C) a $10 word D) a $12 word E) a $20, 30, ...$100 word
F) a $1000  or $10000 word G) the cheapest word H) the most expensive
word.
*************************
Grade Level 9-10
Use any mathematical operations you know to represent each natural
number n as an expression with n n's. For example, represent 3 as a
combination of three 3's as: (3 + 3)/3. Write  as many of the natural
numbers as you can  in this way:  one 1, two 2's, three 3's, four 4's,
etc.   (These can be combined using various operations!)
*************************
Grade Level 11-12
Define n> to be the sum of the first n natural numbers greater than n.
Define <n to  be the sum of  the  n natural numberrs upto and including
n. So,
    4> =  5 +  6  + 7 + 8 = 26
    <4 =  1 + 2  + 3  + 4 = 10

Just to help clarify.....The problem states that this person has 60 
cents at least.  Altogether the person has 20 coins, nickels and 
dimes.  Provided that the person has at least 60 cents from a portion 
of that bunch of nickels and dimes, how much do they have in all.  LEt 
me give an example...let's pretend that the person has 60 cents all in 
dimes and twenty coins of nickels and dimes.  Let's say then that 6 of 
those twenty coins are definately dimes.....(to make the "must have" 6 
sixty cents), then since the rest have to be nickels and dimes (and 
there are fourteen coins left), what value do we have in all?  Thanks

                    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, (Compuserve 76550,221).
HOW OFTEN WILL WE GET PROBLEMS TO SOLVE?
Problems will be issued during six-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.

I wrote to you once before about the possibility of getting Australian schools to jhoin  in , and I've tried but it's a bit too hard (end of year, etc>).  However are you plamnning to continue this next year? if so when?
how would you feel if aspects of this were adopted as part of an Australia-wide program with the idea of introducing schools to the idea and then showing them how to link in to K12 and your project channel? actually this reads worse than it is intended (if you know what I mean).  I will sed you some further info soon ...
regards,
Graham

                    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, (Compuserve 76550,221).
HOW OFTEN WILL WE GET PROBLEMS TO SOLVE?
Problems will be issued during six-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.
