Two lessons down and the tile having a negative value hasn’t been a problem so far. I’m enjoying it!

The challenge with this was using equations with integer solutions which weren’t immediately obvious just looking at the equation. Didn’t want 3x+1=7 for example. So ended up using lots of pretty challenging equations with unknown on both sides and negative solutions.

Sorry! Must be my end from my phone. I’ve just realised it works from my computer…so clearly my phone!

How lovely!

This is amazing, thank you so much!

Someone commented on my infectious giggle in my department yesterday. I replied ‘at least I bring something to the department’. They replied ‘that’s not the only thing, also the TL maths textbook’.

Yes! I saw your post and was looking forward to doing the same later in the week. Loved it!

That was going to be my next question…. And what is the point of it?! But you’ve answered that!

And do you have a rule of thumb about how large n is and how close to 0.5 p is?

Great, thank you.

Thanks

Or is there some ~ with a dot above notation that I don’t know about?

I always enjoyed my lecturer writing QED at the end of some horrendous proof and saying ‘quite easily done’ with a smug look on his face.

Yes that one from your book!
