Candid Student Reports

The following (emails) were written by members of the Math Explorations during the first session of the program. Some elements may have been removed for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.

Today we made tessellations.  it was fun.  Then
we did the maze game.


 Kati and Leon

Today, Jon and Adam showed us what tessellations 
are and directed us to make our own  with a 
partner.   He then showed us a computer model 
that helped the user to create tessellations.
	They then showed us a program called the "Maze 
game".  It showed us how to navigate around "mines" 
throughout a graph.  
	Finally, they then presented us with coordinates 
that we had to mark on a graph and tell them what 
it shapes into to. Bruce finished first.


Bruce and Andrew

Today was the bomb. We did some stuff with stuff and
some more stuff guess what stuff means. We did 
tessellation it was so cool. I did some games and other
cool stuff. It was so cool. Well Bye now

Comments: Today was the first day of Math Explorations!  
We made up our own tessellations.  Then we went on the 
computer and played tessellation games.

is four. Four is four forever more!!!

I thought today's class was pretty good. There were some 
bugs in the quadrilateral tessellation program and 
positive maze #2, though. I don't like cutting and tracing 
stuff, so I didn't really like the make-your-own-
tessellation.
			My name is Andrew, Andrew is six, six is three, 
three is five, five is four, and four is four forevermore.

Today was fun i liked everything except the grid w/ the
smile face which was kinda boring it was bad.  My favorite 
helper was Adam because he let me move after the marker 
fumes got to me, then i was a lot better.  Anyway i had a lot 
of fun thanks a lot,
 


 Dan

Today I learned how to make tessellations and recognize number 
patterns.  I understood the tessellations perfectly, but I 
didn't like making them with the paper.  Also, the cookies 
were good.
I am John.  John  is four, and four is four forever more.

Today I had fun and we did lots of mazes and I did a tess-
ellation and that's it.
