Weekend Fun

Hi, Happy Monday to everyone!

I hope that everyone has had a great weekend.I've had lots of fun experiences since my last blog. Over the weekend I attended the Michigan Irish music festival. Upon arriving at the festival I purchased a MIMF commemorative glass. The glass gets you into an express lane at the beer counter and apparently if you use the refillable glass, you get two extra ounces. Well at four dollars each, you can use all the extra ounces you can get. The vendors claimed that the refillable glass will get you a full pint. It got me thinking about something I read on our blackboard site. If you check out the MathDL math in the news feed, found on the general tab of our math blackboard site, you can read a post claiming - if the last half inch of your pint glass is not full then you are getting only 85% of what you are entitled to. If you drank 6.5 glasses and the head was a half inch then you were out a four dollar beer at the end of the day. Next time skip the glass and buy the bottles.

Now back to what we are learning in our math class. We are learning about logic and deductive reasoning. We played some fun logic games during our student presentations. Here's a link to some puzzles on line. Enjoy!http://school.discoveryeducation.com/brainboosters/

Finally here's a few jokes to lighten your day!

- What did the zero say to the eight?
- Nice belt

- What do you get when you divide the circumference of a jack-o-lantern by it's diameter?
- Pumpkin Pi
