Yes, they are so important that they get their own page 
Y12 and 13… here’s the place to shout for help, download papers, and generally discuss how pleased you are with yourselves for choosing the best subject ever. Or something like that.

LOL! I think there is some exaggeration going on here. Glad you got your stuff though – you’ll be able to enjoy your decision homework now
Kettle will have to wait till after Tesco trip
Ah of course, decision is the best mrs tib! Back from your tesco expedition yet? Hopefully armed with biscuits and tea bags?
OK. Tea’s made and I’ve bought biscuits
Oh, just dropping in to say nothing maths related at all… Hmm… Wouldn’t mind a cup of tea though… Can’t belive that tea is against health and safety (Go on Mr Williams, relent!)- possibly the addiction is starting to be quiet bad though, so perhaps it is a good thing… Glad your books have turned up Em, thats the last time anyone tries tidying up the common room!
Well, I’ve made my contribution (that reminds me, harvest on friday is it not?) so I’ll be off to bed… See you both…
Hiya! It’s been a few days! I’m sitting here having a cuppa and doing maths
I was wondering if anyone could please put up any C1/2 papers for me to download? Yes, Mr Brewin I have downloaded the Mech paper and you’ll have it on Monday
i want a picture!!! y does emma get a picutre and i don’t?
Cos I’m special! hehe, its my turn to use that now!
Fiona, the answer is simple. She’s a muppet. And you’re not
Oh, and I’ll try to get some C papers up here shortly… Look forward to getting the mech one asap!
!
I’ll remember that when Christmas rolls around again and I’ve got a spare Twinnings Peppermint tea bags to give away……….!
Shall we put him on washing up duty, Emma?
I think, Mrs Tibble, that he should be on washing up duty for the foreseeable future….. in the 6th form common room! (We have adopted a ‘can’t be bothered to wash up’ policy there so he’ll have plenty to do!)
AND should make the whole of our class tea every lesson…
(Mr Williams almost gave into me the other day about the whole tea issue… I’m sure there was a glimmer of hope there for a second…)
lol i couldn’t resist, I might still be a muppet but this is the one that you (mrs tibble) and i agreed i should be!!
I lost half a biscuit in my tea!
Yum, biscuit mush at the bottom of the cup
Although in comparision to the limescale of the kettles in the common room, I think I know what I’d prefer!
Mrs Tibble, did I not give you my Ex2C homework on Friday? I have odd bits of questions here, but not others?
I know I’m so behind on homework for you, I’m really sorry. But it will be all complete by tomorrows lesson. I will be armed with biscuits too
No, Emma, only 2A and 2B.
Oooh, did someone say biscuits?
Oh gosh, sorry. I have 2C here, not that it’s much good sitting here on my desk!
Shall we bring our mugs to the lesson tomorrow then? I’m going to have to invest in some better biscuits for our lesson than we’ve got in the house at the moment because they’re not very dunkable!
Biscuits Monday, tea Tuesday – unless you can persuade Mr W to make it!
Ok lol, just biscuits on Monday… custard creams oui? Not sure if I’ll be able to persuade Mr W…!
p.s I’ll make your tea sign tonight!!
In Ex 2C, Qu 9… I’ve worked out all the triangles within the graph to SATISFY the triangle inequality… but apparently its NOT supposed to…?!
Look at BCE and ABE
with ABE:
AE (90) + EB (20) = 110
AB = 40 – so that satisfies the inequality
Same with:
AB (40) + AE (90) = 130
BE = 20
Doing it the last way doesn’t satisfy the inequality… but how do I know to do it that particular way?
Does a triangle which truely does satisfy the inequality works for either of the the three ways?
Am I making sense?
I love the planar/non planar stuff, its so satisfying…
Also, did you set us any work for Friday? Was it to finish Ex 3A?
Finish 3A is for tomorrow period 2!!
It’s the last way not working that’s important. It needs to work all 3 ways but you only need to check one. If the longest side is greater than the sum of the 2 smaller ones, the triangle inequality fails.
Oh ok…
Lol, don’t worry, it will all be done!! I’ve dedicated today to maths!
…and getting nice biscuits. Have you seen Mr Riedel is dropping unsubtle hints about chocolate biscuits!!! Outrageous!
Do you not like chocolate biscuits? Or are you outraged at the fact Mr R is trying to wriggle his way into our Biscuit-maths lesson idea?
When has he been unsubtly hinting?!
Front page, first posting.
Is he hinting or offering?
!!!! *speechless* !!!!!
Blimey we have to patent our idea Mrs Tib! Its our thing! Before we know it…….. he’ll be offering….. tea!
For Kruskal’s Algorithm, do I have to illustrate each choice of edge in a different diagram or can I just build it all up on one diagram?
Just build up one diagram like the example we did in class.
Ok, thank you
Mel! I knew I should have bullied Mr W into giving me a new exercise book that first time round! All those notes on paper have disappeared! I’m no good with paper!
Mrs Tibble all your Decision is done
Mrs Tibble, thank you SO much for the tea! You’re a star!!
You’re welcome
Are my eyes deceiving me or has Mr Riedel grown bigger than Mr Brewin?
I know! I was thinking that yesterday… he’s cheating though because he’s making posts basically for individual topics! I really think you should make a post for each algorithm we study!
…or just each time any of us post Mrs Tibble should get bigger. We’d just be off the page
Hmm… Not looking forward to tomorrow: Emma (if you read this, you are most likely to!) can you make sure someone takes notes that I can borrow to copy up please
And yes, thank you very much for the tea it was wonderful… And I think it’s about time I brought biscuits in for our a decision lesson, so as long as I’m in on Thursday, biscuits are on me!
Maybe we should do a big bipartite graph where one set of vertices is the people and the other set is what biscuits they like!
Would it end up being a complete graph do you think?
As long as complete doesn’t imply we like eating each other, and that the biscuits are happy eating themselves (I don’t have those definitions at my finger tips!), I don’t think we’re very fussy about biscuits, after all they are biscuits!!
Oh, but wait, some of my brother’s favourite biscuits are rich tea, while I think they are perfectally acceptable but I prefer the roughness of a digestive any day… I think we may need to do some research!!
What’s the definition of a bipartite graph Mel?
You can’t have edges within a set, only from one set to the other.
Oh yeah… I don’t know… some points on a page which have some lines going around!
Got biscuits though, so I hope to redeem myself! Wait, I’m gonna go on to the other page and actually ask some maths questions, so I’ll see you in a minute…
hey, does any1 have their c3 book with them? if so, please could u tell me wat questions 3 and 4 are in Ex6C? ive lost my book and need to do the hmwk!
Mrs Tibble! I hope your exam went really well… This time last year I wouldn’t have understood why anyone wanted to do stats for fun, but actually it turned out alright, so perhaps I can be more sympathetic…
Anyway on the other hand, I don’t have the decision test that you were leaving for us because I wasn’t in… Fiona said she’d scan it in for me (yes dedication!) but can’t get hold of her, and I think she must be away now… So I’m a bit stuck, unless someone else can volenteer…
And more generally there wasn’t any work to do additionally was there (or for core if anyone- Emma!- is reading this?)?
Happy half term everyone!
I didn’t get that test either! Because I was doing the play!… I’ll check about that Core work Mel…
xx
Hi Mel,
The exam went well, thanks. Results in December!!! If we took that long in school, we’d probably get the sack!
so I’ll get it then if you’ve had no luck.
Just checked my bag and I don’t have the test at home. Think Fiona is in America. Might go over to school one day to collect the marking from Friday’s cover lessons
Enjoy half term – hope you feel a lot better.
JT
Glad to hear it, december is a long time away, although going shopping, you wouldn’t think it!
Don’t put yourself out over it! Seriously it’s not that important…! I can honestly do it when we get back, I just thought I’d let you know now.
I’m feeling a lot better, just the remains of an ordinary cold now, and feeling more on top of things being able to do a bit of work each day and not feel like everyone else is rushing away ahead. So all is good
Oh and I have my first driving lesson on thursday. I’m really excited. So now you have been totally updated on my life… It’s actually really weird not having lessons every day, but there you go, it’s not long till we properly leave so…
See you soon
howdy
i am indeed in America now, sorry i didn’t scan it b4 i left i just had like no time at all
but mrs tibble dedication, or dedication, on the maths blog in a WHOLE different country oh yeah!!!
good holidays
I’m impressed Fiona!!! Send us a postcard – or bring us back some biscuits
Mel – I went into school so I have the paper if you want it. How did the driving lesson go?
Um, yeah, I suppose it would be good Mrs Tibble, but not if it’s trouble. Driving was so cool! All the way round the block and I didn’t kill anyone! But trying to fit them in term time is not easy: they only seem to have day time spaces… We shall think about it.
On the other hand, I’ve been and visited both Surrey and Oxford universities, and I’m really itching to go now! You wouldn’t happen to have any physics information would you Mrs Tibble? And does anyone have any advice on doing combined stuff (I still think straight physics would be a bit… draining?)
