Subject: Continuation of solution
Some of the strategy I used to help to figure out
the problem were: I meausred the thickness of each
roof.  That helps to see how sturdy the roofs are.
I also used two books for an experiment. First, I
took a tall folder and a short book.  I set them up
in a triangle shape.  It was clear to me that the
flatter triangle was sturdier than the tall one
because there was more air in between the taller
one (roof B) than the shorter one (roof A).  The
difference was 11/16 of an inch for the shorter one
compared to 23/16 of an inch for the taller one.
(I used a ruler to measure the screen.)  The answer
I came up with was A.  I agreed on A because the
air on roof A from the top to the bottom was 11/16
of an inch and roof B was 23/16 of an inch.  I
thought that the more air, the less solid the
building.  The measurement of the sides and bottom
were : Roof A Sides = 2 inches, Roof A Bottom = 4
inches,  Roof B Sides = 40/16 of an inch, Roof B
Bottom = 4 inches.  Thank you for taking the time
to read my report.
              Carli worked on the problem for about
three days.  She tried many strategies to develop
her solution and could be found in the
encyclopedias (both on-line on commercial BBS and
at home) and she made many phone calls to adults
she thought might know something about roofs.  She
took walks around the neighborhood to get a feel
for the way *real* roofs are built (aha!  Real Life
connection taking place!)  As I stated, this was a
.Gif file and I would love to be able to eventually
include graphic problems in our available problems.
However, the first problems until that thought is
probed futher will be text type.  This is only one
of many types of problems which might be given.
They will be posted according to grade level.
Please direct any questions back to me.  Thanks,
Carol

Well actually you don't 'talk' about anything in this Channel!  I suggest
that you read the K12_info files or ask your sysop about K12Net.

Hi everyone,

I will be teaching 4th grade G/T this year and will be utilizing K12Net as much as possible.  I coordinated a couple of K12 projects last year and hope to do them again this year.

If you have a class of students who would like to correspond with us, please let me know.  We will have a site-based K12 BBS set up before too long (as soon as I figure out how to do it <G>), so we can reply right away.  All messages will be routed through the K12 BBS I have set up at home, which means that the content of the messages will be screened AT LEAST twice.

I eagerly look forward to corresponding with you all!

> How long is a piece of string?
 
The ideal length for a piece of string would be just long enough to tie a 
nice neat knot in it at the end of the job it was intended for, but in my 
experience, the piece of string that was just cut carefully to do the job, 
suddenly is always just about 5 cm to short to tie it.
 
You are right, you should get some interesting replies on this one!

Here in Oklahoma, the Corporation Commission has ordered all the
telephone companies to get rid of party lines and make sure all
customers have single line service. As you can imagine, this is a huge
job for a company the size of Southwestern Bell. One of the towns here
in OKlahoma that was to be upgraded to single line service is called
Grove. Grove sits on one of our nice lakes, with all sorts of trees and
some truly obnoxious winding roads going back into the boondocks. Most
of the outside plant (this means all the cables from the central office
to everybody's phone) in the area was ancient, and there were just not
enough paths to give everybody their own line. So a huge quantity of
jobs was engineered to add all sorts of fancy outside plant in the
Grove area. But the constuction people kept putting off working them. It
was finally getting close to the deadline set by the Corporation
Commission and construction was suddenly yanking crews in from all over
the state to set terminal boxes and radio relays and repeater huts and
so on. Well, several of these crews looked at the location of Grove and
arrived with their boats and water skies in tow. At first they planned
just to have fun after work. But when they saw how much easier and
faster it would be to sail to the job sites instead of tackle those
horrible roads, there were soon crews of telephone folks in their jeans,
boots and hard-hats boating all over the place. One particular group
decided not to waste any time at all began to ski between job sites. No
one had thought to wear swimsuits to work, so they skied in their
underwear. Of course there was someone by with a camera and caught a
lovely shot of one of the valiant crew, skiing across the lake in his
underwear and hard-hat with the rest of the crew in the boat encouraging
him. Needless to say, upper management may have laughed themselves
silly, but officially "they were not amused."

This is the first of several msgs. These msgs will contain some
thoughts that writers should always be aware of in their writing.

Writing is a form of communication. Use words in your writing that you
understand. Using a word that is incorrect is unforgivable. Use your
dictionary, treat it as your best friend.

When a writer uses an incorrect word communication breaks down because
the word no longer describes to all people, what the writer meant.

You are required to have a large vocabulary. Work assiduously in
aquiring one.

As an example, here are some things that you may see today in writing,
or hear on the radio or televsion.

"A young baby died in the fire." Have you ever heard of an old baby?

"A total of 12 people."   'Total' is superfluous, there were 12 people.

"A series of events."  Should just be 'events', It does not require "a
series" to make it plural.

Keep at it....

G'day All!

A good whimsical!

The preceding msgs from "Lindsay" originated from me! My UEDIT and Max was giving me a few 'alias' problems. Problem is solved now (I hope).

When told that the humourless President Calvin Coolidge had died,
Dorothy Parker asked, "How can you tell?"

This one is something of a chestnut, but it may provide some 
amusement if you haven't heard it. 
 
 
 A man enters a tavern and asks the bartender for a glass 
of water.  The barkeep pulls a double-barrel shotgun out from 
beneath the bar, points it at the man's head, and cocks both 
hammers.  The man smiles broadly, thanks the bartender very  
warmly and walks back out the door.

 
 What just happened?
