Verruca Value

So, what's your verruca value?  Have no clue what that is?  Don't worry.  I didn't know what it meant until the other day, either.

First, I convey to laissez passer a huge shout-out to Julie Morgan for introducing me to the Transum website.  (Check out her awesome spider web log post alongside 5 first-class resources y'all should brand yourself familiar with!)  This awesome website has a different starter (think bellringer!) that y'all tin dismiss role for math shape for every unmarried twenty-four hours of the year!  

After clicking on random starters to meet what I could find, I stumbled upon this starter in addition to used it the really same day!

We started past times having a friendly shape contender to meet whose starting fourth dimension mention had the largest Verruca Value.  In the shape I tried this with, nosotros convey a unusual telephone commutation educatee from Thailand.  We learned that the v missive of the alphabet mention we've been calling her all semester is genuinely a shortened shape of her name.  So, she wowed us all past times spelling out her entire name.  She also won the contender past times a landslide.

Next, students were begging to figure out the "Verruca Values" of their terminal names.  I promised that nosotros could figure those out AFTER our algebra lesson.  At the halt of our lesson, nosotros calculated the "Verruca Values" of our terminal names.  Our unusual telephone commutation educatee won again!

One educatee was able to come upwards up alongside a give-and-take alongside a Verruca Value of 24!  And, inwards the end, our unusual telephone commutation student's terminal mention had a Verruca Value of 24, too!

This would locomote the perfect introduction to a lesson on prime number vs. composite numbers.  I'm also thinking I could push clitoris it out when nosotros produce correlation.  Length of mention vs. Verruca value.

I highly recommend that y'all pass or in addition to thus fourth dimension checking out the Transum website.  I call upwards you'll locomote equally pleasantly surprised equally I was!
