On second thought, maybe she should just get the students started before she settled down to chat with Fina. " Actually... Un momento, por favor. I will be back soon." SPOILER!!: Lucy Quote:

Angel looked at her work and decided to double check it before she continued with the meaning, she wanted to make sure she was totally right before continuing with the work.
Angel had not gotten to interpretations yet either. "Correct calculations, good. On to interpretations," she said with a nod. SPOILER!!: Marigold Quote:

Now for the meanings. Marigold scanned her textbook, and then wrote down what she found.
Was that right?
Miss McAlistor had gotten her maths done and was moving on to meanings. "Yes, you have found the correct meanings. Now.. I'd like to see nice and full interpretations." SPOILER!!: Hazel Quote:

Now that she had the numbers, she had to find their meanings. Hazel pulled out her textbook and began reading through the pages. She wrote down the information she needed.
She hoped she got them right.
Another person who had gotten their maths done and was starting to work on meanings. "Yes, you have done your calculations well... Make sure you give full interpretations." SPOILER!!: Adi Quote:

5 May 1862= 5+5+1+8+6+2=27=2+7=9
Meanings: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy.
Interpretation: The end of invasions by the Europeans to Americans. The French victory over Mexico City was a short lived one due to the US providing help in the form of politics and military. That part represents power or strength of working together to defeat the enemy.
5 May= 5+5=10=1=0=1
Meanings: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
Interpretation: It was a new beginning for the Mexican people. They gained their Independence under the leadership and innovation of Benito Juarez.
5=5
Meanings: Change, transition, progressive thinking, resourceful, freedom, versatility, physical world, physical touch
Interpretation: The change or transition from war to peace for the Mexicans was due to their progressive thinking both from themselves and the US. Despite them being outnumbered, they still fought and emerged victorious because they used the resources they had at hand- courage and skill.
There. He was done.
Ah, someone was past the initial stages. She perused the parchment. "Well done, Mr Rehman. Perhaps see if there is someone else who needs assistance?" SPOILER!!: Simon Quote:

5 + 5 + 1 + 8 + 6 + 2
= 27
2+7
=9
This number (9) means: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy.
What does this mean to history: This number could mean the end of the French occupation and imperialism of Mexico. (?) However, the Mexican's victory was short-lived as Mexico City was taken.
5 May
5 + 5
=10
1+ 0
=1
This number (1) means: beginning, independence, innovation, leadership.
What does this mean for history: This was the first time Mexico successfully stood up to a European power. It gave a morale boost to the Mexican army and people.
5
=5
This number (5) means: Change, transition, progressive thinking, resourceful, freedom, versatility, physical world, physical touch
What does this mean for history: The Mexicans realized that they could actually stand up to the European powers.
He eyed his answers. There HAD to have been more than that to explain the significance of the numbers. Perhaps there was a history of magic book lying somewhere around here? Hmmm?
Good, another person had gotten past the initial stages now. "Well done Mr Holden. If you are satisfied with your interpretations you might see if anyone else needs assistance. If not, feel free to continue." He hadn't written as much as what she had come to expect as his norm. SPOILER!!: Jasmine Quote:

9: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy
5 May 1862 was the ending of the Battle of Puebla. There was a metamorphosis because the victory inspired and transformed the country of Mexico. Power and strength did not result in a win for France. The success was short lived because one year later, France captured Mexico City.
1:Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
Cinco de Mayo represented a new beginning for Mexico. While it was not their true Independence Day, Mexico achieved theoretical independence because the did not allow France to prevail. The Mexican army was innovative in finding ways to win the battle when they were outnumbered.
5: Change, transition, progressive thinking, resourceful, freedom, versatility
The fifth of May marked a change in how Mexico was perceived by others, especially the more powerful countries. The Mexicans had freedom from war after the battle ended. Again the army showed resourcefulness and versatility in finding a way to win against all odds.
Whew, that was taxing. As usual, Jasmine had a headache when she finished analyzing her numbers, but she had done it. She put down her quill and rested her brain for a moment.......at least until the next task.
And what did Miss Guidry have for her today? "Sí, well done." Perhaps even a shade better than her homework had been.
