      lunch is mandatory to go to, however, the whole school does not go to lunch at the same time. there are multiple lunch sessions and only certain classes/areas of the school go at a time. im not sure if this is how it works in other places of the world, but this is how it works in america, at least where i went.
      i dont think Mr Woo is asking the students if they need to go to lunch (they either have already went or are going to go), i think hes literally asking them if they have something to do.

      @@ClassicMist360 thanks for the treatise on lunch and it's meaning to you, but I really do think he was saying "do you want to go to lunch" as in, right then, or did they wanna finish this concept... I think that because it's what he said.
      That was the focus of my comment, I admire that he engaged his students to the point they wanted to hear the ideas.
      The comments on lunch, or on local UK teaching regulators, are cool and all, but a bit off-topic.

      @@jimmytumbles9640 if that was the focus of your comment you should have articulated it as such. you could have just as simply said "So kids, do you want leave or learn more maths?" without making an inaccurate statement.
      you think what you think because you interpreted what he said incorrectly.
      mr woo is a great teacher and i also greatly appreciate his desire to explain concepts and captivate students, but youre being a bit ridiculous. nobody is going to skip lunch and possibly starve themselves or not get to eat all their food to finish one math concept because he happens to be a good teacher.
      also you posted your comment on a public interface. you therefore accept that people will talk about almost anything that is protected under the laws of the land (wherever you may be in accordance with youtube's policies as well).

Taught myself a great deal from a book as a result. No wootube or youtube in 1977!! I feel like I’m discovering maths properly at last and I’m in my 50s. Thanks Mr Woo! 💜

      That would be a big square plus a little square. There's no easy way of breaking up the big square, adding the small square, and rearranging to form a rectangle, which consistent with the fact that a²+b² can't be factored.

    • @chinareds54
      @chinareds54 6 лет назад

      Now that i think about it... there's some interesting geometry we can do where the amount we need to add to the sides of the smaller square to make the total is exactly c-b, where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides a and b.

    • @FFF666GP
      @FFF666GP 5 лет назад

      Look at the 1st/left-most diagram. Note a^2+b^2 = (a^2+2ab+b^2)-2ab = (a+b)^2-2ab. This is interpreted geometrically as the area of the encompassing square, where each side = (a+b), thus has area = (a+b)(a+b) = (a+b)^2. Now, remove/subtract the 2 rectangles, each of area = ab and you will be left with the major square which has area = a^2 and the minor square which has area = b^2, thus summing to area = a^2+b^2. Hope this is clear.
