We are IESO Elortzibar's Bilingual Programme students of the first course of ESO.
Althoug Maths is our main topic, almost anything interesting fits in Frikimaths: sience, music, movies...
Some students
have to take a test in 9 minutes. Due to an electromagnetic pulse, every watch has
stopped working and we only have two hourglasses to measure time. These two hourglasses (the only ones we have in the high-school) last
for 7’ the
first one and 4’
the second one.
How can we measure exactly 9
minutes (neither one second longer, nor shorter) using these hourglasses? Tip: try to start both hourglasses at the same time.
What happens after exactly 4 minutes? Deadline: October the 25th. Printable version available. And we continue with the 90's...
Ismael visits a
one-floor castle with 64 rooms connected as described in the image below. He
starts in the bathroom (the black square)
and since he feels sooooo relieved he wants to visit the 64 rooms using only 15 straight lines. Would you be able
to help Ismael and draw a path for him starting at the balck square and using
only 15 different lines ( without removing the pencil from the sheet) so he
manages to visit the 64 rooms?
Watch it: You MUST start your trip from the black spot, but you can finish it
wherever you want. Notice there’s one missing connection between two towns at
the bottom of the drawing.
We move from the
peaks of the Pyrenees to the Valley… In 6 months some of you
will face some of your worst fears in the Green
Week (heights, rafting, arborism, rappelling…) Let’s see if you manage to survive those
hazardous situations! If we analyze
what happened last year, I was in charge of 30 kids… - 16 of them did
the Rafting Activity, 14 of them the Rappelling activity and 13 of them the
arborism activity. - 6 people did
the Rafting and Rappelling activities, 6 people took part in the Rafting and
Arborism activities and 5 people enrolled in the Rappelling and Arbosim
activities. - Only 3 people had
enough courage to do the three activities. Well… of course there is no doubt
that I did them all!
The question is… how many of those 30 kids didn’t take part in any activity? Extra Question: who is hiding behind the mask?
Printable Versionavailable. Deadline: October the 4th Have a nice weekend! The song below is a 1996-classic hit!!
No Doubt - "Don't Speak"
PS: Olalla, Juan and Mónica sent me the right answer. Congratulations!
Last year’s white
week was a great experience, but Elena and I needed some help to cope with all
your daily crazy stuff… That’s why the doctor prescribed us some pills to
both avoiding getting nervous (Pills Type A, blue bottle) and preventing us from feeling dizzy during
the day (Pills Type B, green bottle).
We had 6 pills of each type (one for each day) and all of them looked and tasted
exactly the same.
The problem is
that on the first day I dropped them accidentally and two B-pills and one
A-pill fell from the bottles… and I couldn’t tell which of those three pills were
the two B-pills and which was the A-pill!
I was terrified
because the doctor had told me that if by any chance I would take by mistake 2
pills of the same type, I’d go crazy-bananas and all your grades could be
changed to zero without even noticing… what a disaster!
Anyway, that didn't happen... So... how did I manage to take the proper dose every day? (one type-A pill and one Type-B pill)
Deadline: Thursday the 27th of September
Hand in your solution: you can either send your solution by e-mail or hand in a handwritten copy next week.
This song is from one of the first CD's (there was a time when people used to buy CD's, cassettes, vinyls...) I have ever bought in my life (I was 13 years old).
This blog has been recently redesigned for its
new crew. It will walk along you throughout this whole Bilingual Maths new
experience which is supposed to last for the next two years.
Are you ready to start??
Arcade Fire - "Ready to Start"
Amost every Thursday a brand new Challenge of the Week will
be uploaded. But not only maths or logic challenges are allowed, you should
feel yourselves free to create any entry sharing something special to you, or
just simply something freak you crave
to show to the world.
Let’s start with some music… have you ever wondered
how numbers may sound like?...
Hiiiii
Look and learn Mario! Here are some examples of scientific monologues! In the minute 0:46:00 you can watch a monologue of mathematics, about theorems.
I hope you like them:)

Hi class! Last night we uploaded the new videoclip of DJ Santonio. It´s filmed in San Cristobal with the colaboration of Rubén Medina and his silly ideas... Well, hope you like it!
Hello everybody! As you all know, Harlem Shake is becoming more and more famous.
In the first nine days of the phenomenon over 11,000 dance versions were uploaded to YouTube and it's calculated that about 4,000 new versions of the dance are uploaded each day.
Harlem Shake has been covered from planes in flight to squads of armies, like this, for example:
Many people have made their own version of this dance, so we decided to make our version too. This is only a trial, we will make the definitive video in a few days.
Meanwhile, here you have our Harlem Shake! We hope you like it:
As Patricia and Ada I have made the dodecahedron and finally

Well, I do prefer doing origami than studying french, so as Patricia, I did the dodecaedro, and I'm writing more than 20 words because YES!
Well, now I have to go, bye.
NO METAIS LOS DEDOS EN EL ENCHUFE!

Hi, class! :)
I have done the dodecaedro that Mario explained us. Well... Mine with faces of Pablo is much better than Deads... -.- JAJAJAJA
With these 22 words, I have my 0'15 points more.
Here's a little thing you can easily build in less than hour :D
The calendar is just one of its multiple uses... If you prefer, some pictures could be printed in each module so you'd get a collection of pictures instead this year's calendar...that's your choice!
