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 worked on computers using shapes and 
letters to learn different things.  It was 
very fun and it challenged me.


 Ari

 Today we had a lesson on probability's. We 
worked on randomness too. Today was fun!


 Isa

 Today I learned how to about probability and 
used spreadsheets to generate random numbers. 
And we burned down a forest and I played at
Nick.com. I like doing hands on things because 
it is so much fun. I e-mailed my sister at the 
University of Michigan. I hope she writes me 
back. These classes that I am taking this 
summer.


 Treasure

We did probability stuff and then cooler stuff 
and then did alphabet stuff.  I enjoyed the 
lessons they taught us and it was very fun!!!! 
brakes should have colder drinks.
  


 Dan and Andrew

Today I learned about probability.  I made a 
histograph on Microsoft Excel and the Internet.  
I also learned about the four colors theorem.  
Bob1 and Jon said that we could have $100 if 
we made I pattern that requires five colors.
 


 John

	Today, we worked with histograms, used the 
forest fire program, and observed angles in 
different capital letters.
 


 Andrew and Bruce

Today we did probability on the board and comp-
uter.  Then we did graph theory.  That was
really fun.
