Section 1: Thought Question of the Week

The students should have gotten their story straight. The teacher could tell they were lying. How?

 Clues:  1. They made up a story to tell their teacher.  2. They didn't straighten out all the facts.

 Name: Max Mongiello  Date: April 27, 2010  Type of posting: 1  Posting: The students were questioned regarding how a window in the teachers classroom was broken. One student said that a bird flew into it, smashing in the window with its beak. The other student said while walking to his desk, he tripped and punched out the window in an effort to break his fall. The stories did not match up so the teacher knew that they were lying.

**Name:** Juliet Altmann **Date:** April 28, 2010 **Type of posting:** 1 **Posting:** The students were trying to get out of school early, so they told their teacher that one of their mother's was there to pick them up. However, the teacher needed a reason as to why both students were leaving together. The students did not plan this part of their story, so when their teacher asked why they would be leaving school together, they both scrambled for words and at the same time they responded, "He's my cousin." and "Our mom's are friends."

 Name: Jeff Schecter  Date: April 27, 2010  Type of Posting: 1  Posting: The students didn't remember all of the details to the story. They all met and came up with an excuse, but they all were confused with the details. They all had conflicting stories, which made the teacher know that they were lying. Also while they were telling their individual stories they may have had some facial expressions, which led the teacher to the conclusion that the students were lying. The stories didn't match up.

**Name:** Jon Libock **Date:** 4/27/10 **Type of posting:** 1 **Posting:** The teacher could tell the student was lying because the student told the teacher that he couldn’t do his homework because his dog died and then told the teacher when he got home his dog at his homework.

= Name: Selma Zayer = = Date: 4/28/10 = = Type of posting: 1 = = Posting: The teacher knew they were lying because the students did not discuss the important details. So the teacher, catching on decides to questions the students separately. The teacher had been proved right. The two students came up with different responses to the teachers questions.

One of the students said that the sub had a part time job as a clown and wanted to show the class how he made his shoes explode by kicking the side of the desk. The other student's excuse was that he had a laser pointer and was shinning across the room. A science geek sitting right by the teacher's desk had his magnifying glass out and ironically the laser rays reflected off the glass and burned a hole in the desk. The teacher knew that they were both lying because the stories did not correspond with each other and the sub was a teacher that worked in the school that was just filling in for that one period. = =<span style="color: #0036ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Name: Anna Behnke = =<span style="color: #0036ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Date: 4/28/09 = =<span style="color: #0036ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Type of Posting: 1 = =<span style="color: #0036ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Posting: When the students were asked who vandalized the classroom wall, one student said an upper class man came into the room and graffitied it, and another said Billy Bob from class did it. They both had two different stories, therefore, the teacher knew they were lying. =

Troy and Roland, during a multiple choice test, whisper back and forth the answers to the questions. The teacher sees them talking and takes both their tests away. She asks them both to stay after class. Troy and Roland did as she said and stayed after. The teacher leaves the room to go get the principal, while they sit in the classroom and wait. Troy tells Roland to just say he was asking to borrow his calculator. When the teacher and the principal show up they tell the same story.The teacher knew they were lying, because they got the same questions right and the same ones wrong. =

Name: **Nick Rizzo** Date: 4**/29/10** Type of posting: **1** Posting: Bob and Paco were very sneaky and were trying to convince their teacher they had studied for their big test. They were actually watching survivor and then afterwards they decided to stay up all night and watch season 4 on DVD. The teacher knew something was up when she interrogated both of them separately. Paco insisted they had studied very hard. He said they had studied their exponents and did practice problems until 12. When Bob went in there he said they were practicing fractions until 12:01. The teacher knew something was up and now she want not happy.

But how did this happen? The teacher thoroughly interrogated the students that were in the classroom at the time of this event. Jim claimed Carlos jumped out the window as a suicide attempt, Frank told the teacher Carlos was walking backwards and didn't notice that the window was open and he flipped over it, and Timmy said he slipped on a banana and soared out the window. Clearly the teacher knew these students were lying because all three of the stories she heard were utterly ludicrous. **

Name: Gregory Russo Date: 5/2/10 Type of posting: 1 Posting: When the teacher wanted to find the student responsible for the broken wndo, she questioned two suspicious looking ones. One of them said that the gym class was playing baseball and a foul ball struck through the window, and another one said it bursted into shards from old age.... The teacher knew they both could not be right.

First of all they both were trying to tell the same story considering they said they did their homework together. The teacher brought each of them into the hallway 1 by 1. The two students did not say the same story, not even close. **

==<span style="color: #2e00ff; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Posting: The teacher could tell the students were lying. Because they both forgot certain details in the story they made up together, they made up new ones as they told it. The teacher asked each of the students to tell the story individually in the hallway, so they could not hear one another's story. They both told completely different stories. ==

I was at a friends house with Jared, and we decided to do the wiki post together, cause Mac is the man. Thank you very much, and I am sorry about the inconvenience.

How are you doing on this fine day. I have a question about tonight's homework. The homework is on p. 590 in the textbook numbers 22-27. I am having trouble with number 22. The question is 2 radical 3 x 5 radical 27. I multiplied both of these radicals and got 10 radical 81. When I simplify radical 81 to find a perfect square, I put radical 9 and radical 9. How do I write that down on my notebook since they are both perfect squares. Do i put 10 radical 9 or 10 x 3 radical 9. If someone can help me it would be much appreciated. Thank you and have a good night.

For number 9 the problem is q radical 12. You have to times twelve, the denominator to both sides. Then you get radical 12q over radical 144 which you can simplify to 12. The you can split radical 12q into radical 4 and radical 3. Since the 4 is a perfect square you can then make it a 2. You then have 2 radical 3q over 12. You can then simplify it into radical 3q over 6 for your final answer.
