  2. Franklin Elementary Math Club Dr. Hamner Hill (Owen’s dad) Department of Philosophy & Religion Logic & Philosophy of Law 651-2816 (w) 339-0575 (h) C787hup@semo.edu Have fun with some math.

  3. Math and the Math Club • Math is FUN! • Math is sometimes difficult. • Math is NOT just arithmetic. • Math is a way of looking at the world, a tool for thinking. • We are here to explore, to learn and mainly to have fun.

  4. Solving Some Math Problems A standard container of Ice Cream holds one half-gallon. A serving of ice cream is ½ of a cup. How many servings are there in a standard container of ice cream? What do you need to know to solve this problem? How many cups in a half gallon! Can you figure out how many there are? Now, to get the answer, just multiply by 2! 16 ½ cup servings.

  5. Here’s another one: • How many inches are there in a mile? • What do you need to know? • How many feet in a mile. Then what? • OK, multiply 5280 by 12 and you get 63360 inches in a mile.

  6. Solving Puzzles • In a bank the cashier, manager and teller are, not necessarily respectively, Brown, Jones and Smith. The teller, who is an only child, earns the least. Smith, who married Brown’s sister, earns more than the manager. • What position does each man fill?

  7. Solving the puzzle • Start by listing what you know—make a chart

  8. Solving the puzzle • Starting with what we knew, we can solve the puzzle

  9. Here’s another one • Mr. Fireman, Mr. Guard, and Mr. Driver are the fireman, guard, and driver on a train. Each man has only one job. When I tried to find out who was what, I was given these four "facts": • (1) Mr. Driver is not the guard. • (2) Mr. Fireman is not the driver. • (3) Mr. Driver is the driver. • (4) Mr. Fireman is not the guard. • It then transpired that, of the above four statements, only one is true. Who is what?

  10. To solve this puzzle, begin by assuming one of the statements to be true and see if that makes sense. If it doesn’t, you know that statement is false. • If you assume (1) to be true, it leads to the contradiction that Mr. Fireman is both the driver and the guard, which is impossible.

  11. Do you have it yet? • Mr. Driver is the guard • Mr. Fireman is the driver • Mr. Guard is the fireman
