Rv: "Turtle Confusion" en Español
- Mensaje reenviado - De: Barry Newell Para: Melina Coronel CC: Katrina Proust Enviado: lunes, 8 de octubre de 2012 18:35 Asunto: Re: "Turtle Confusion" en Español Hi Melina I find this all very exciting! You all have given me the push that I needed to do something about the excess difficulty of the riddles (a common problem with inexperienced puzzle setters). And you are right ... given that the riddles make use of play on words, it will indeed be a fine challenge. I will be delighted to work with you. You certainly have my permission to translate Turtles Speak Mathematics. I look forward to hearing of your efforts. I would like to know more about you. Do you have a short biography ... or can you tell me a little about yourself. It has occurred to me that my wife (Katrina Proust) and I would enjoy a visit to your team at some stage. Not sure when we could do it, but it would undoubtedly be fun. Best wishes Barry On 10/09/12, Melina Coronel wrote: Barry!

Re: "Turtle Confusion" en Español
Congratulations to All! The end product is excellent! As you know, the riddles in Turtle Confusion were written assuming that the task of solving them would be undertaken by a team of upper-high-school students, their teachers and their parents. In general it is hard to organise such a capable riddle-solving team, and maintain it over a period of time, and so such team work has not usually been undertaken. But, as they stand, the riddles are impossible for young students to solve, far too hard for most high-school students, and even very difficult for most adults. Solving the riddles requires some insight into my particular worldview, and there is not enough clear text in TC to provide that insight. I have long felt the need to write a teacher's guide to the riddles – I have not done so because of the pressure of other work. The effort that you and your colleagues have put into this project, and the high quality of the end result, have prompted me to go ahead and produce the guide to the riddles. I will not be able to do it quickly, but I will keep you updated on my progress. I will, unfortunately, have to write it in English. The production of a teacher's guide will serve another purpose. It will help us to make sure that the riddles still work after translation into Spanish. Best wishes and, once again, my congratulations.

Well, maybe we can help on the translation of it as well if you give us permission. I think Melina would like to help on this translation. > It will help us to make sure that the riddles still work after translation > into Spanish. I'm not pretty sure of this because we don't solve all the riddles yet but it's something that we have in mind and we will do in the near future. But... Maybe we never get the answers, haha ;) Cheers, PD: we are about to start the translation of "Turtles Speak Mathematics" on the next week, I guess. -- Kaufmann Manuel Blog: http://humitos.wordpress.com/ Porfolio: http://fotos.mkaufmann.com.ar/ PyAr: http://www.python.com.ar/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Felicitaciones! Creo que es un muy buen libro para que los docentes encuentren un uso mas profundo de TurtleArt. Que bueno que lo hayan traducido. Gonzalo 2012/10/7 Walter Bender > Muy bueno.
