@pgliljedahl I found the solution, but I won’t post it and ruin everyone’s fun. Doesn’t require any guess and check. There’s a very logical sequence.

Solving @pgliljedahl ‘s problem from today. Can you write 5 one-step equations equal to 1,2,3,4,5 using the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 each exactly once? You can only use one operation + , - , * , / per equation and have to use each of them at least once. Eg. 2+3=5, 8-4=4, ...

Excited for the start of the CEMC Winnipeg Conference.

@kevmowat @MutchmorMath @KristinGrey18 @slcornwell @richroberts76 @goddard_dorothy @CeliaCaetanoGo1 Thank you! I'm very excited for this opportunity.

The wall of important math words is full, but it will never be complete. There is always more to learn.

End of classes. Asked each student to write a msg on the board that offers advice to next year's class. Yes, I'll do anything to help you!

#stillworkinghard #vnps did this challenging prob, 1group got it in per 2, one girl by herself got in per 7 (can't find prob source 2credit)

@apharradine @nomad_penguin Tried with 1-4 and was able to end with 0 and 2. With 1-8 I could end even too. I think n/2 must be odd for the last number to be odd.

@apharradine @nomad_penguin That would be great! I'm going to try your process tomorrow and see what we can come up with.

@apharradine @nomad_penguin I understand why the last number must be odd, but don't know how to calculate the probability of the last number being a certain number. 2/2

@apharradine @nomad_penguin The probabilities, to help understand why @nomad_penguin 's graphs look the way they do... 1/2

A multiplication grid... to scale! Each entry is the right size (oh, and square numbers are squares!)

@nomad_penguin @apharradine It was also a nice way of showing them the power of social media.

@nomad_penguin @apharradine Maybe he would share? My students have taken an interest in this problem, especially after it was retweeted & liked by ppl outside of Canada
