Just a quick stop to say hello @everyone!
Sorry I haven't replied to anyone if you @mentioned me, I was gone all weekend doing things with hubby since he got a rare Saturday night off! Unplugged the computers and didn't even have a chance to get on the Nest from my phone.
I'm exhausted after tackling most of the items on our "honey do" list! So, I'll have to call it a night and catch up to you all tomorrow, whhhhiiiiiiineee Tuesday.
Nighty-night to all on this side of the pond, and a good morning to everyone on the other side. Have a great day and happy flinging! -
Oh, before I forget I saw this on Facebook and just had to share!

The parent is a math genius. @SweetP An ePIG math genius. :P

Hi @spacemaster, I really must drop in more often... what's the app? Does it have to do with your comics?
Your profile http://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/spacemaster/profile/ and website mention nothing, nada, zip, bupkis ... -
@sweetP @SeasonsKing -- Good thing I'm not taking math now. I can't figure out what they think you're supposed to do! I can figure out what you might do (several ways), but it doesn't correspond to the problem. I'm in the father's boat, with many, many years of solving much more difficult advanced math problems. @AMSlimfordy -- Maybe you can explain how the student was supposed to solve the problem. It seems that this is one case in which you need to know the "rules" invented by the teacher, which are not necessary to solving the problem.

@sweetP, @mvnla2, the FB page includes a lengthy discussion thread about that math question: https://www.facebook.com/PatriotPost/photos/a.82108390913.80726.51560645913/10152143072400914/?type=1&stream_ref=10
It sort of makes sense. -
@burpie @mvnla2 @SweetP I think I figured out the problem!
The guy first subtracted 100 (hundreds) three times to get 127, which you can see from the big gaps at the right. Then he was supposed to subtract 10 (tens) from 127 before subtracting 6 (ones) from it, but instead he skipped step 2 and subtracted 1 (ones) six times to get 121.
So the real answer should be:
"Dear Jack,
When using a number line for equations like subtractions in your case. You should remember to subtract every place value from the number-to-subtract. The answer you got is wrong because you missed subtracting the values at the tens places. Your workings were actually right so remember to check your answers.
Or if you got tired of this workings because you were forced to, you may follow a parent's simple step. Which is:
4 2 7
- 3 1 6
---------
1 1 1
---------

WWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Oh and can you whip me up a bucket of bacon and a blueberry bacon smoothie? Thanks. -
@kathy So sorry about your car, hon. Do they need the business or don't they? You really got something to whine about there!
Meanwhile, how about travelling to work this way?

@Kathy I don't understand cars at all ... but nice car :D
-
Getting that pretty red car must have inspired you @Kathy. Great score on level twelve. You're giving me a run for the money in gggggllllll. *clink*
-
@kathy - she looks fantabulous !!! Have you given her a name??
@annifrid Happy Birthday!! The cake looks great - so I've taken a slice mmmmmm delicious too it's just as good as it looks!
Maths!! Soooo glad I only need to know the simple way!
@absm - congrats that's great news!!
Well I played something that approximated to golf today inasmuch as I hit a ball with a stick (lots & lots of times) til it fell into a little hole - I didn't come last but that was only because two of the competitors gave up. The rain was relentless and it was a tad chillier than Florida! Luckily I gave my excuse of jet lag on the first tee though I don't think that had anything to do with it!
OB I'll have a cup of hot chocolate cos I'm on my way to bed now. Gngb @all -
@Annifrid and @Cosmo2504 -- Happy Birdday! Hope you both had marvelous days.
@Kathy -- Congrats on the car, really good looking.
@IPuffle -- Welcome! (back?) Have you been in the Bloated Pig before? Food and drinks are on the house your first visit. Be sure to read p. 1 if you haven't. Does a blueberry bacon smoothy taste good in real life? Not sure it sounds that good.
@Greenimperial -- You must do a lot of lurking here. Haven't seen you "in person" recently. Great that you stopped by.

@SweetP @SeasonsKing @burpie @Amslimfordy -- As I thought, once someone tells you the "rules" for doing math using a "number-line", it's fairly straightforward, maybe. SeasonsKing -- Actually, I think what the student did was subtract 10 six times to get an answer of 57. If you ask me the timeline is confusing, because it has 3 nice large spaces that correspond to 300, followed by 6 smaller, fairly equally sized spaces. So is the "correct" answer 427 - 3*100 - 10 - 6*1 (or is in 3*2 or 2*3?), or 427 - 3*100 - 2*18, or 427 - 4*4? In the first case, you are giving a unit of 10 essentially the same space as a unit of 1 (or is it 3 or 2?). Not to mention if you subtract 6 ones, you have to add an interval onto the "number-line."
I think the "teacher" should get an F for assigning an ill-defined problem. -
@AngrybirdsSpaceMaster -- There's a message to you from Burpie above, in case you missed it.
-
Thanks everyone:)
And thanks @mvnla2 for properly welcoming @ipuffle and @greenimperial I knew i missed someone ;)
@Mumsie you funny lady haha hit a ball with a stick into a little hole!! Sorry your weather didn't welcome you home:(
Thanks @Pa it felt good to be done with that level! ! -
Lol @mvnla2 Im staying out of the math conversations I do like the father's way though good old fashioned subtracting!
-
Ohhhh and Congrats @AngryBirdsSpaceMaster !!!! Cool Beans! !
-
Thanks @Karen68 I saw your note inn my notification. .will pop over in a few :) good looking out ty:)
-
No problem @kathy :)
Happy birthday @annafrid, what an awesome cake your Mum made you. Looks yummy!
As do the ones from @Tompuss.
@Mumsie sorry you didn't get nice weather to welcome you home. But I'm glad to hear you had a great vacation to our side of the pond.
OB could I get 2 fingers of Scotch please? I'm sure it goes with cake. -
Hi @Karen68. It appears the sanctions worked. You've been playing within the guidelines set forth in the "Ferocious Five Accord of 2014". Don't make the Sergeant at Arms in a tutu flex his flinging finger at you again. lol
-
Haha @rat9 that image of you in a tutu always makes me laugh!
I was telling the gals I've hardly had time to fling for days. I'm going to try to get back up to speed this week, & I promise to stay in GGGL. Don't want you overworking your flinging finger Sergeant Sir! -
Aww love the picture @kathy! My eyes are closing too... early morning tomorrow. Have a great night all :)
-
Sweet Dreams @Karen68 !! See ya tomorrow have a great day! !
-
Good night Ma, Karen.
-
Happy birthday, @annifrid !
@mvnla2 Actually, the student subtracted 6 1s and the 57 on top should probably written by the 'frustrated parent'. And I agree with you, the person who should get an F is the teacher. And do you know why the teacher gave the question? It is actually because someone used the number line to solve 427 - 316, the teacher couldn't think of a suitable way to tell the student how to solve it so he/she put the question for everyone to help him/her do the work. :D
