I like when teachers are simple but creative about what they do in classes. In this case @FawnPNguyen has a nice idea of how to run her test reviews. "To review for it, I need you to look through the ten problems on this paper. You’re more than welcome to work on the questions, but you don’t have to, not for me anyway. I need you to just examine them enough to identify two questions on there that you feel confident about, that you have no problem solving them. Then, I need you to identify two questions that you would like to get help on most. That’s it."

No power of 2 is the hypotenuse of a right integer triangle. (Thus neither is any power of 4.) All powers of 5 are hypotenuse values. Is there an integer right triangle with hypotenuse a power of 3? (A power of 6? 7?) pic.twitter.com/OkM0PGl2w3
