Report from Friday February 11th (What Is Math)
Response by SeeLogo group
While other groups
met outside the class we watched a video that was connected
to the
duality principle (yin Yang). It said that there
is no good without bad,
no rich without poor etc. and this inspired us
to create a YInYang
picture in SeeLogo that became a fractal:
First we typed
NEW YY1 //YY stands
for Yin Yang
CIRCLE 200
CURVER 180 100
GOBK 200
curvel 180 100
NEW YY2
yy1
JT 0 50
size 0.25 yy1
gobk 100
size 0.25 yy1
Then we filled colors in
Everything was so beautiful and logical.
and we realizes that we could
have continued to do it for yy3 yy4 and so on so in principle
we have an
infinite object here. Wow, it was fun.

we started making a "how to" sheet for creating the spiral of life.
Nancy reminded us of the formula which helped a lot. We don't know when
we will present yet, but it will be in the next couple weeks. Dani response
I am very proud of you and the way you work togethet. You will need
to download seelogo on your own home computer (one way is from www.ithaca.edu/seelogo
or ask for a cd from Dani. I am looking forward to see the instruction
sheet also).
Your examples are stored here with
skill questions
Become familar with creating the spiral of life saving it and showing
it to other people.
Develop a worksheet and questions for the students in the class that
will learn through you to make the spiral of life. Learn other mathematical
art. Send people to Dani, the coach.
Learn how to copy and paste the code onto the communication
board. For example:
This is a code for a specific spiral of life with 3 babies. Learn
to decode the information below
