I heared that there are 6 basic math abilities.
and one of them is to find an example from regularities.
I want to develop this ability so I tried to find an example from real world.
but I am not sure am I correct or not.
the example what I found is moving a human to the moon.
and the regularities what I worked on was moving segment to specific point with only unmarked ruler and compass.
this is comes from Euclid`s Elements book 1, proposition 2.
you can find it from
http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/elements/bookI/propI2.html
the example what I found is:
there is a person (can`t go to the moon on foot)
the person get on a rocket
rocket go to the moon
the person will be unloaded from the rocket
the person on the earth is moved to the moon
and the person stay still.
is it correct example?
the original proposition goes like this:
there is a segment
add same length to the segment
rotate it
subtract same length from the segment
segment is moved
and the both segment, before moving, after moving, are same.
thanks for reading.
