Best Puzzles - Top 10 Brain Teasers in 2012
There are 6 possible states for the order of the men: TRL, TLR, LTR, LRT, RTL, RLT There are 8 possible combinations of anwers for questions: TTT, TTL, TLT, TLL, LTT, LTL, LLT, LLL. Theoretically it's possbile if you could figure out a way to get any of the 8 combinations of answers assigned to the states, but with the unreliability of Random's answers, I thought it was impossible. There is always a possiblity in any solution where Random will exactly mirror T or L for answers. He could always lie or always tell the truth and you can never tell when he is lying or telling the truth. After a minute though, I saw through my own error in logic. So: Ask #1 if L is standing on R's right arm (our left if they are facing us). Now we know, based on the answer to #1 where to avoid R's worthless answers. The answer now will give us some more info. Yes, Yes: Has to be LTR, or RTL Yes, No: TLR, RLT No, Yes: LRT, RLT No, No: TRL, RTL For example: Yes, Yes - ask #2 if #1 is L.

Comprehensive School Mathematics Program
Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP) stands for both the name of a curriculum and the name of the project that was responsible for developing curriculum materials. Two major curricula were developed under CSMP project, Comprehensive School Mathematics Program(CSMP), a K-6 mathematics program for regular classroom instruction, and the Elements of Mathematics (EM) program, a grades 7-12 mathematics program for gifted students. EM treats traditional topics rigorously and in depth and was the only curriculum that strictly adhere to the Goals for School Mathematics: The Report of the Cambridge Conference on School Mathematics (1963). As a result, it includes much of the content generally required for an undergraduate mathematics major. These two curricula are unrelated to one another but certain members of the CSMP staff contributed to the development of both projects. Overview[edit] The most influential figure on this project was Frederque’ Papy. Mini-computer[edit]

Writing in Mathematics
Featured Topic: Writing in Math Class Teachers incorporate writing in math class to help students reflect on their learning, deepen their understanding of important concepts by explaining and providing examples of those concepts, and make important connections to real-life applications of the math they are learning. Teachers use the writing assignments to assess student understanding of important concepts, student proficiency in explaining and using those concepts and each student's attitude toward learning mathematics. Writing in mathematics is a win-win for both teacher and student. Although it may be difficult to introduce this practice, it is well worth the effort. Look for simple ways to incorporate short writings throughout daily lessons and longer writings over the course of weeks or math units. Getting Started with Math Writing Often students who have difficulty writing in math class have less difficulty telling the teacher what they think. The basic steps of Think-Pair-Share are:
