Weekly Rhythm Register late May 2013

This shows my daily and weekly disciplines including stretching 10 mins a day so I can pick up the chalk!  A power walk with arms swinging above my head to two songs:  "Life" by Haddaway and "get Ready for This" by 2 Unlimited.   Then the cooldown is "Chariots of Fire" by Vangelis.

May 2013 Brain Teaser Solution

A function machine is when a number goes into this machine, a different number comes out. A basic formula is used to determine what comes out. If:
3 --> 90
4 --> 272
5 --> 650
6 --> 1332
7 --> 2450
What will come out if 10 goes in?
A:  10,100

3^4 + 3^2 = 81 + 9 = 90
4^4 + 4^2 = 256 + 16 = 272
5^4 + 5^2 = 625 + 25 = 650
6^4 + 6^2 = 1296 + 36 = 1332
7^4 + 7^2 = 2401 + 49 = 2450
...
10^4 + 10^2 = 10000 + 100 = 10100

Please Promote Math Positively!!

Inspired by a New York Times reporter who wrote in the Home section that "trying tiling was sort of like choosing to spend your weekend at an algebra slam!"

If we can promote Math in a positive way, it will help teachers and parents and most importantly students!

Please consider the way we speak of Math and how it can influence our students and society.
