This was the second of Kristin Prather's series of Science and Math Workshops at the library. They are for Intermediate School students to learn basic math and science concepts through FUN activities and demonstrations. They will get to make rockets, search the stars, and test mind-boggling physics theories. Let's not forget playing math games!
March 15 (Science) : 3-6 PM
March 29 (Math) : 12-3 PM
April 26 (Science) : 12-3 PM
May 3 (Math) : 12-3 PM
All workshops are in the Activity Room in the Friendswood Public Library.
Markus, one of my German teachers. To my chagrin, we tried our hands at some math on the last day of my intermediate class. Math, for me, isn't too far from studying a foreign language.
I am learning about braid groups, which can be represented by sets of strings and their crossings. In order to understand how these things are structured, I am using yarn and tape and putty to move them around and try out the group operation (or a representation thereof) for myself. It's giving me a much quicker and more concrete understanding of "how things work" than a whole bunch of sigmas joined together were.
I am a little embarrassed to think that I usually think of math manipulatives as being for elementary school kids. However, I am deriving inordinate amounts of fun from getting to do stuff like this.

While visiting Ludzi Girls Secondary School, I came across the same math books we used 20 years ago! Even though they aren't using them, they haven't thrown them away.
Evelyn is a trooper with her homework, hardly ever complaining. She's pretty good at math, if I may say so myself. Plus, she looks extra intelligent wearing her glasses.
