Wiki collaboration party - Symmetry & Logic word problems

Thanks for your participation in the brainstorming process last week. Those that participated have contributed to a friendly and helpful atmosphere of discussion. We learnt from each other by pitching ideas and suggestions, and improving on them through discussion. We helped to organize the page structure, and saw the beginnings of something amazing being born: By having an overview of how the entire page ties together, numerous people can start to fill in individual sections and see how it fits in overall.

Special thanks to Pi Han, Sandeep, Gautam, Kaito, Kevin Chung, Shivamani, Chris, etc for Operator Search, and Division Algorithm!

Based on the success of these meetings, we’ve updated it into a “Wiki Collaboration Party” (did you notice the name change at the top?). This week, we will be improving:

Each meeting will be conducted over Slack chat and will last for approximately 90 minutes. We will achieve the following:

  1. (5 mins) Figure out the target audience, and their motivation for reading the page
  2. (20 mins) (Quick review of examples) Discuss what we love / don't love
  3. (15 mins) Ensure we have a complete list of examples
  4. (15 mins) Discuss how to organize various sections of the page
  5. (10 mins) Settle on the final structure of the page
  6. (5 mins) Assign out sections to write over the week

If you have any questions, please comment below!

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.
