TRAJAN: A good Roman Emperor

Look at the roman coin. This is the legend:

IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC PM TR P COS V PP. Imperator. Trajan. Augustus. Germanicus. Dacicus. Pontifex Maximus. Tribuniciae Potestate. Consul V. Pater Patriae.

TRAJANO: Emperador Trajano. Augusto. Germánico, Dácico. Pontífice Máximo. Con potestad tribunicia. Cónsul por quinta vez. Padre de la Patria.

Ok! Beautiful coin! Now you have to answer two questions. (wiki or whatever)
1. Where was Trajan born?
2. Was he a good emperor or not? Why?

Berter The Converter

Brittany has created a new character named Berter The Converter, and I think he is quite a good guy. His first appearance was some weeks ago, when we were talking about decimal numbers and he tried to help us to multiply them, by converting (yeah! he is The Converter) from imperial to metric units. He also showed us that imperial units are not in a decimal system, so you have to use different conversion factors between multiples of the same unit.

Last week Berter striked back with percentages: Berter Goes Shopping. He went shopping on sales, so he had to calculate the final price by substracting the different discounts of the items in different shops. I'm not sure wether Berter learnt something about how to calculate some percent of a quantity, but i think he really had a good time. His last appearance was yesterday during the test.

What do you think about Berter The Converter?
Do you like him?
How do you think he looks like?

Who was Hypatia?

Hipatia de Alejandría (370 – 415).

La película de Amenábar ha sacado de la oscuridad a la figura de Hipatia, una intelectual muy importante de finales del s. IV y principios del V, que desarrolló su labor en Alejandría (Egipto) en la fase final del imperio Romano.

También se han publicado últimamente algunas novelas que tratan la vida de esta filósofa de la antigüedad desde perspectivas más rigurosamente históricas o menos, dependiendo de los casos (El sueño de Hipatia, Tormenta sobre Alejandría, etc.).

Hipatia fue profesora, experta en filosofía griega, científica excelente que sobresalió en matemáticas y astronomía. Conocía perfectamente la filosofía antigua y estaba especializada en estudios lógicos y ciencias exactas.

Now you know something about Hypatia of Alexandria (370 – 415), she was a very good Greek philosopher who lived in Alexandria (Egypt, Roman Empire). She was great in mathematics and astronomy. If you want to know something else about this excellent woman, watch the following video:

La feria

Es una pena que la feria dure tan poco tiempo pero es una semana muy guay.
Lo qe mas relacionamos nosotros la feria con las mates son:

• el techo de los coches de tope, que es rectangular y tiene formas triangulares
• la barca: es triangular y simétrica.

De: Antonio C, Pilar & Mari Carmen.

Feria Matemática

Todos los profesores de matemáticas os dirán que su asignatura está por todas partes, y que tiene mucha aplicación en la vida real. Yo creo que tienen razón, pero a veces tenemos que fijarmos un poco para darnos cuenta. Os propongo el siguiente tema:

Let's try to find some relationship between Maths and Montoro Festival. I can imagine some examples like geometric figures, prices,... If you want, you can also add some images.

Of course, everybody can comment the posts.
