1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1. Did we end on your 1 . Whoa, you divided 16 into 3 equal parts. Did you know you could do that . Im dizzy. Okay. Well, we are going to end with a t high within a t high like a wheel that goes around and around and around. I want you to figure out there is a multiplecasion problem in here and i want you to see if you can tell us when we are done what it is. Something will repeat 3 times. [applause] okay. Which one of you figured it out . Yes. 49, hum. I can see how you would say that, why do you say that . There is 49 of something. Okay. Did you notice the turns . The spins . How many were there in one piece . Yes. No. Yes. 9. How many times did we repeat that . How many times . 3. 9 times 3 is 27. We did 27 turns but we were going, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1. Thats a sophisticated math concept, you were not wrong. I bet you will grow up to be a mathematician. I will give you my address you will have to send me your first paycheck because i taught you this. At thi
