As for the remedial math progress, the majority of students have progressed to integer division. The rules for this operation is the same for multiplication:
- a negative divided by a negative is always a positive
- a positive divided by a negative (or vice-versa) is always a negative
- a positive divided by a positive is always a negative
A few students are still struggling with integer subtraction, and some are also working on integer multiplication. I'm hoping the homework/study workload increases leading up to mid-term exams (next week). That being said, I really enjoyed working with Ty on his "In the Heat of the Night" poem; just be sure I get some credit, Ty.
The Flight Club project is coming along. Shane (aka "Crash") helped set the final, centre dihedral in the wing, so it's ready for cover. During the last class, I stepped in and "hogged" the project for a bit, gluing reinforcements into the fuselage joints. Darwin was able to help me join the two fuselage halves together. What lies ahead is some real "fiddly" work, installing 16 or so short stringers to the fuselage to create the proper "box section" design. When this is done, the landing gear is installed, and then all the parts will be ready for covering. I'd better get to the hobby store and buy some modelling "dope" pretty soon. I hope to upload some pictures soon.
