In my day simon, we used to use Pi as a fraction, 22/7 or 22 over 7, do they still teach fractions?

 

[simon718]

we learnt fractions and how to work them out, and how pi works, but anything involving pi was covered in the "calculator" gcse exam

 

[Paul.]

Ah well, calculators hadn't been invented when I was at school, the first one I saw was about 1975 I think, cost over £50, more than 2 weeks wages then.

 

[clem dog]

I think we have around 5 calculators in our house some of which are those scientific yokes, lots of pretty buttons!!!

Used to solve the right angled triangle Tangent, Sine, and Cosine. O stands for opposite, A stands for adjacent, and H stands for hypotenuse, Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent, Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse, Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tweedle dum, tweedle dee, round the circle is pi D. If the area is required, a equals pi r squared.

Only rhymes if you say it with a twee Scottish accent.

PI is only approximately 22/7. This is why there's so much fuss about calculating Pi to n decimal places, it's not simply dividing 22 by 7. it's calculating the ratio between the diameter and circumference of a circle.

Do kids still recite the times tables to learn them?

 

[gavuk]

Sorry Eddie, think yours might have to go.

 

[eddie49]

That's all right, Woz, I was a bit dubious about it ( the resistor colour code ) myself. But that was actually the "polite" version ....

 

[Wozzaaah]

I sort of recognised it but couldn't recall what it referred to.
