Do yous know what twenty-four hours of the calendar week yous were born on? Do your students know what twenty-four hours of the calendar week they were born on?
Yes, I know there's an app for that. But, did yous know that in that place is a mathematical formula that volition say yous what twenty-four hours of the calendar week yous were born on? If yous were similar me upward until several weeks ago, the answer to that final query is a no.
So, how did I discovery this? I of late started a novel classroom tradition. Since September, we've been doing Good Things every Monday. Sometime inwards October, I introduced Fri Funnies. I stole this amazing thought from Lisa Henry. I part jokes, comics, videos, or other random things that I establish funny. Yes, I torture my students amongst mathematical jokes sometimes. They similar to brand fun of my jokes. Apparently, I don't convey a funny os inwards my body. But, if I forget that to create Fri Funnies, yous would intend that I had forgotten the password to the computing device that has the capability of saving the basis from destruction. Okay, mayhap I exaggerate a little. My latest add-on is Weird as well as Wacky Wednesday. This is a endangerment to part something interesting as well as normally educational or inspiring amongst my students that they wouldn't otherwise survive exposed to.
The Midweek earlier Christmas Break, I was feeling uninspired regarding what I should share. So, I googled "fun math facts" for inspiration. After next a few links, I discovered a formula that tin survive used to determine what twenty-four hours of the calendar week yous were born on. I already know that I was born on a Saturday, but I had to endeavour out the formula to encounter if it worked. And, it did! It was magic; it was math! I decided this would survive the PERFECT affair to part amongst my kiddos.
It took a lot longer than I anticipated. It's non that it's hard. It's truly rather elementary if yous know how to create long partition AND read directions.
I've decided that side past times side year, I am going to salve this activeness for correct earlier my Algebra two students boundary into polynomial long division. I ever convey to pass a proficient chunk of a degree menses reviewing long partition amongst my students earlier nosotros tin fifty-fifty root to tackle long partition amongst polynomials. This activeness provides the perfect argue for practicing long division. You can't purpose a figurer for this because nosotros are interested inwards the remainder.
I typed upward the steps, but these steps exclusively operate for birthdays inwards the 1900s. There is a alteration to the formula (follow the link inwards a higher house as well as scroll down) that allows yous to calculate the twenty-four hours of the calendar week for dates inwards whatsoever century, but I convey soundless to experiment amongst it. When I typed this up, I chose to purpose equally much mathematical vocabulary equally possible. Vocabulary is 1 of the things I am truly working on amongst my students this year.
Feel gratis to purpose this to amaze your students (if they were born inwards the 1900s) or endeavour it out yourself only for fun!
After finding everybody's twenty-four hours of birth, nosotros checked around of the dates using Wolfram Alpha to bear witness to students that the formula was true. Much to my students' surprise, they were! And, they had to admit. It was pretty cool that yous could figure it out using math!
