SPOILER!!: Lux and Tanner

Eden glanced over at Lux. "Okay..okay. Good. I..I might need a lot of help," she whispered to the Hufflepuff. GOSH WHY WASN'T EDEN'S BRAIN WORKING RIGHT NOW.

It was annoying.

But with Lux's help...and watching other people, Eden figured out how to do this.....reduction thing. Right. Yeah. Totally and completely easy, mhmm.

Well...so...I have to do...4 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 5 + 1 + 0 + 0....which....equals 35. She scribbled all of this down as she did it. And then 3+5 is.... 8. Eden was glad this was EASY math, at least, Merlin.

SPOILER!!: Tanner

Tiara took one last look out into the corridor. Not seeing anyone, she decided it was time to start the actual new material. "Back up front if you would, please." A few moments' pause was enough to allow her to speak again. "If you don't take Arithmancy, do not worry about the reducing, the others have helped you out." She flicked her wand at the board, making the work and answer appear, along with the textbook's meaning.

Now came the fun part. "This number, which reduces to 8, has several meanings, the most commonly used of which are authority, success, and material wealth. Here's a thought exercise for you: if this number were to represent a place, what type of place would you guess? Creative answers accepted!" she said enthusiastically.

OOC: Completely off the wall answers are fine! If you need to finish your calculations, that's also alright. We'll move on in 16-20 hours depending on when I get up in the morning.

Eden raised her hand, after seeing what 8 meant and stuff..."Well...success and whatnot...a cooperation of some sort..and since this is combined with muggle studies--a muggle corporation of some sort."

Was that a good answer? No. Eden was feeling.....eehhh about things.

Muggle math? OH THANK MERLIN they were going to be doing something else. Good one, Professor. Lux was much better at the good old reduction method. Arithmancy didn't get much simpler than that. The number on the board was rather long, but it was nothing she couldn't handle. Opening her notebook, she began working on the problem: Oh. And looked like Eden was lost. "I can help you if you want." She was much better at Arithmancy now.

So she took special care to roam the room in search of those in need of assistance. Text Cut: Eden and Lux And Eden was her first customer, by the sound of it. "Coming, Miss McGee," she said from the opposite side of the room. It took her a while to wend her way over, given the close proximity of the desks. By the time she had arrived, someone had beaten her to the punch. "Yes, Miss Carrington.." Tiara scanned her work. "You are more than able to assist. Thank you for offering!" She turned to Eden. "You're in good hands, don't worry," she said with a smile. Then Tiara moved on to others, but of course she could come back if necessary. Here was the Gryffindor that had offered to help clean up, but she didn't know his name. Clearly he needed help, but that made sense because he didn't take the course. "It looks like you could use a crash course in our reduction method, Mister..?" Help a lady out with a name, here. Eden glanced over at Lux. "Okay..okay. Good. I..I might need a lot of help," she whispered to the Hufflepuff. GOSH WHY WASN'T EDEN'S BRAIN WORKING RIGHT NOW. It was annoying.

Time to find out. First up was one of her own flock. "Well done, you even found the meaning." Very spaced, this work was. But also very correct, so really it didn't matter much. "An accurate summary of the characteristics, Miss Brown," she commented. Interesting. Weak eyes, perhaps? No matter, he'd been very helpful, so she wouldn't comment further. "Thank you, Mister Rehman." ~~~~~ Aditya had chosen to break up the number into smaller chunks, including reducing one of the smaller numbers before combining them together. "Interesting method, correct answer. I wonder if that will always work..? I would certainly have to look into that to prove it." These students were always stretching her. Whoever thought 'teachers teach and students learn' had definitely never taught before. Upon hearing a question, Tanner turned to find the source of curiosity. Ah, she should have known! Smiling, she said, "Not random! But I'm not giving it away just yet!" she finished, giving the young man a small wink. She didn't want to discourage his curiosity. "Mhm.. yes.." she muttered as she looked over Zhenya's parchment. "Excellent, you've earned yourself a short break!" "Good work, Miss Guidry," Tiara said, looking over the girl's shoulder. "Just sit tight for a few moments until we're ready to move on." What did Zeke Rogers have for her today? "Correct work, correct meaning. Hold on to that until we're ready to start doing something with it." Just by the look in AJ's eyes, she could automatically tell that the girl was tired. "Getting enough sleep, Miss Valentine?" she asked whilst looking over her work. "It does not appear to have impacted your work, thankfully. Get a nap in before lunch today is my suggestion." Back to the Dream Team. Zander had finished now, and she wanted to double check his work agreed with the rest of the group. "Indeed, correct," she said to him after verifying. Oh good, AJ was offering to help. She loved how willing the students were to help each other. That would make for productive citizenship later in life. "Yes please, Miss Valentine. Many thanks," she finished, inclining her head towards the girl. Well, this Hufflepuff was definitely on to something. "You have the right idea, now you simply need to complete the calculation! Break it up into smaller chunks if it seems too large and overwhelming." Good advice for many tasks in life, actually. SPOILER!!: Meredith and Co. And here came more assistance now. "Thank you, Professor Moxley and Prefect Adair. Extra students require extra assistants!" Good, that situation was taken care of, then. Time to focus on others. "Ah, yes. Well done, Miss Kittredge," she said approvingly. "You are really coming along in this subject quite nicely!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tiara took one last look out into the corridor.
