I will randomly grade three or four of the entries completely. Then I will count to see how many total entries you have. Note that it is highly likely that the graded entries will be those things we did not specifically go over in class. Remember to follow the journal guidelines (hightlighting exercise/problem numbers, etc.).

  1. Stories 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 11 from Section 1.1 and the handout
  2. Mindscapes 9, 10 and 12 (pages 29-31)
  3. Work through the proof that "every natural number is interesting". Does it make sense?
  4. If we have five closed tennis ball cans (each can hold up to three balls), how do we know that two cans must hold the same number?
