Period 1 ...Room 32

9:00 - 9:40 am

Textbook work with integers and variables. Hand in math homework from Tuesday

Some students will work on the classic Four Fours problem.

"Given no more than four instances of the digit 4,
represent all integers using a finite number of
mathematical symbols and operators in common use."

Find all the integers from 1 to 100, using the four fours

For example:

(4+4) / (4+4) = 1

(4+4) X (4+4)=8

4+4+4+4 = 16

Acceptable symbols and operators
+,- addition subtraction
*,/ multiplication, division
sqrt,^ square root, power
! factorial, eg: n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2) * ... * 2 * 1
. decimal point, eg: .4
` repeating decimal, eg: .4` = .444444444...
