Should be easy, shouldn't it? I rashly offered to sew something for Jamanda using some super cool biology teacher fabric. This seems to have morphed into me making a replacement for her favourite work skirt. It has interesting panels, a waistband on elastic and is in a jersey fabric. She's going to choose a complex pattered fabric, I just know it.

(Note to MDS, I have my project and I might need you.)

Yeah - and pattern - Oh and can you have it sorted by Sunday please? That way I can sew one up in time for the 1950's dress up event at school

After much debate late into the night about how well or badly math's is taught with Sean and Jack on the taught well side, me demonstrating how badly it can be taught and Mandy demonstrating both, I realised that I will need pi. I should be cutting out the pattern now.

I also realised that I use sine and cosine to produce straight squared off quilts. This was a light bulb moment for me. I was badly taught and avoided dealing with it. I'm looking forward to learning a lot about numbers now. I'm going to "do" more maths.

Interesting.
I failed my Maths O' level twice at school but got it several years later at the local Tech when the teaching had gone all 'scenario/situation' based.

Applying it, rather than just learning without understanding, made all the difference.

I got A level maths, but my teacher said I did it by brute force and ignorance, so that is the furthest I could have gone. I do find it useful to be able to use maths and simple mechanics to work out certain problems. I learnt the old maths, and even when I was in the 6th form, and the 1st year were on Nuffield Maths and Science, they found it amusing that I couldn't do their maths.

Ah, pie I can understand. When Jenna's maths homework is wrong, it will be me that is summonsed to the desk at the front of the class! (Unless I get Cathryn to help her)

Could you express the % of pie eaten in relation to the pie when it was whole please; and also the ratio of pie eaten to pie remaining? and assuming it was eaten on 3 separate occasions, was it as yummy on the last eating as it was on the first eating?

I prefer to think of it as:

Pie I have eaten & Pie I intend to eat.... and not share...
