Solve for two variables 2001-02-25
A student pose la question :
How do I solve for %1 and %2 in the following formula when T1, T2 and T3 are known? %1 and %2 are ratios of the same element, therefore %1 + %2 = 100%

(%1 x T1) + (%2 x T2) = T3

Difference of Squares 2001-02-22
Bruno-Pierre pose la question :
I noticed the other day that if you substract two consecutive squared positive numbers, you end up with the same result as if you add up the two numbers.

Ex. 5 and 6 (2 consecutive positive numbers)
52 = 25
62 = 36
36 - 25 = 11 (Substraction of the squared numbers)
5 + 6 = 11 (Sum of the numbers)

A more algebric view:
a2 - b2 = a + b where a and b are consecutive positive positive numbers. (b = a + 1)

I wondered if this rule had a name, and who discovered it.

Mr. Moser's roof 2001-02-21
Michelle pose la question :
Mr. Moser is planning to replace the roof of his home. He needs to order a pack of shingles. Each pack covers 100 sq. ft. of roof. Without a ladder, Mr. Moser can not climb to the roof to measure it. Instead, he measures his attic and finds it to be 40 ft. long, 24 ft. wide, and 5 ft. high at the peak of the roof which is in the center of the house. Although the roof is even with the side walls, he estimates the roof line continues 1.5 ft. beyond the front and back walls. How many full packs of shingles should Mr. Moser order to cover his roof?

Congruence and symmetry 2001-02-21
Chris pose la question :
My name is Chris and I am a second-grade teacher. I would like to know what the difference is between congruent and symmetry, and how do I explain this to my class? I know that congruent means the same, and symmetry is two identical sides. Is there a difference between the two? I know there must be, but I don't know what or how to explain these two terms.
