The following (reports) were written by members of the Math Explorations Club. Some elements may have been removed for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words. I learned that False can = True, and that it doesn't matter that I am the youngest kid in the class. By yours truly, Veronica I learned what a paradox is. I also learned how to do a couple of magic tricks. I enjoyed this class very much. Tomas Today in Math Explorations I learned about parodoxes. I learned that they are not always what you think they are. We also discussed some different problems and if they were paradoxes or not. Towards the end of the program we discussed how computers work math and aproximate numbers instead of using accurate numbers. Robert to day we did lots of things a lernd about mobobisa strip and had a lot of fun. :) i found it lots of fun and i loved it. we alsow lerned about paradoxes and a lot about thim i think that it was a blast. by Wade I learned today a couple of magic tricks and what a paradoxes are. By Michelle I learned about paradoxes. A paradox is somthing that contradicts it's self, like:This sentense is false. Jenny A paradox is something that seem like something but is actually not. Here are some examples. Someone in America told you that all the people in America are liars. But that means that they were telling a lie, so they tell the truth. But they just lied. This sentence hass three wordz that are mispelled. The first word that is mispelled is has, words is mispelled, and the WORD mispelled. Christine Today we learned about the Mobious Strip, which has one edge and one side. If you run your finger around it, your finger ends at the same place, and touched both "sides". If you cut the strip through the "middle", your strip is just longer, with two turns, instead of the one it started out with. We also studied paradoxes, such as "This sentence is false." If the sentence is false, then the sentence is true, but if the sentence is true, then it must be false. It goes on forever like that. The sentence is both true AND false. The Mobious Strip isn't a paradox, just an odd shape. Ben Today we learned about paradox . We also decussed a little bit about algebra and calculus. We discussed what makes a paradox a paradox. One type of paradox is the self reference paradox. We got a kick out of that!!! There are several ways to deal with paradoxes. One is to simply say that you prohibit the paradox! We can't wait till the next class! Aimee & Natalie
