The following podcast is a Dear Media production.
B
School is in session period.
A
Welcome back to summer school, everyone. This is period two, and today we're doing mathematics. Princess, spell mathematics.
B
Oh, you really want me to spell it?
A
Yes.
B
M A T H Emi.
A
Am I.
B
Wait, Math. Wait. Oh, yeah.
A
I don't know, girl.
B
You. How do you spell it?
A
Honestly, English class is done, so that was so last episode, so I'm not even gonna. But I think it's M A T H E. M A T H I.
B
C. No, it's M A T H E M I.
A
Cat, will you please spell mathematics?
C
It's. You can keep going.
A
E. No, girl, no, no, I got it. Go.
B
Okay. M I E. Okay. Okay.
C
M A T H E M A T I C I.
A
It's very hard for me to see letters in my brain. I'm more of a numbers girl, and I really feel like that's why I will excel today during period two, right after this episode. Earth to Bratman. Girl, you already know who it is. And we're back. Princess, what you be drinking today?
B
I got the strawberry dragon blue raspberry.
A
Ooh. I've never tried that. And speaking of another thing I didn't try, I've also never tried this, and I'm obsessed. I told Kat to order these drinks for us because I wanted to try new drinks and new combinations that I didn't try before. So these are. The next couple episodes will be us, like, blind tasting these. But I'm obsessed with this one. This. This one is a mixology refresher. She's a mango pineapple strawberry dragon fruit with black tea base.
C
Ooh. And there's four pumps of liquid sugar on each period.
A
Four.
B
Yeah. Mine is. I feel I. It's very sour.
A
Yeah.
B
With the blue raspberry syrup with it, but it's okay. It still tastes.
A
I saw someone. A couple people actually tagged me on their Dunkin Refreshers. And if you guys are looking for suggestions, please try this one out. If you guys are looking for a new one, because this is bomb. So. Yeah. Today's subject is mathematics. Princess, do you have any early memories of math? When was the first time you learned math? Did you ever learn math?
B
I actually enjoyed math, and I do remember taking these. I think it was in second grade where we do, like, one minute tests. One minute to fill out the whole entire paper of, like, either additional subtraction, multiplication, division.
A
Like, I remember those. So.
B
And then we have to put our head down when we were done. Yes.
A
Oh, my gosh. I remember that. So Much. I remembered I was definitely one of those kids that turned my paper over so, like, I would turn it so loud so that every bitch around me knew that I was on the next page already. I remembered also when I first moved to America, I literally realized, and I felt like I had a moment where I was like, am I better than everybody? Yeah, because it's because we learned math. Really? Earlier on in the Philippines. Like by first grade, I was already doing multiplications. I think. No, I'm sorry. Second grade, we were already doing multiplications. And I think in America, they learn multiplications in third and fourth grade. But when I came to America, I was second grade and I remembered literally having to teach some of these kids how to do subtraction. And I felt extra genius with cursive.
B
Oh, wow.
A
That's also another thing that they don't ever learn in America is cursive. Because I don't know if it's still the same now, because I know they do K12 in the Philippines, but back then we were writing and we were expected to write in full cursive by the time we're in fifth grade. All the way down to high school. Did you ever have to experience cursive?
B
I did experience going to school in the Philippines, but honestly, I don't remember anything except like the beginning of the class. We have to. We have to stand up and do the, you know, what is it called?
A
Speeches?
B
No, the school. You know, the school song. And then like. Oh, yeah, to do an exercise before we like.
A
Wait, was that in the Philippines or here?
B
It was in the Philippines.
A
Here. Yeah, I know what you mean. We all had to like, because in America. Well, at least for me, I don't. When I say in America, I mean in Hawaii, in the schools we went to. So if what stories we're talking about don't really be making sense. It's cuz we're unique. I'm sorry, but yeah, that's what I mean by in America. In Hawaii school. But here. I remember the first time the bell rang and all the kids like just stood up from where they were at and just like faced the. The wherever the flag was.
B
Yeah.
A
And then we had to say like the Pledge Allegiance. And I literally just was like, oh my God, this is like Panatan Kababaya. And in the Ib Filipinas, like, girl, I. It was a culture shock. But at the same time, we did that in the Philippines, but it wasn't in our class. We literally would all be in uniforms and we'd all Go to the field and, yeah, do the flag Y. But going back to math, I remembered also fast forward going into high school, the different types of math there were. I remember there was, like, algebra, calculus, pre calculus. How far did you make it up in. In the math world?
B
Geometry.
A
Oh, period, Period. I. Oh, her. Freshman year, period. Okay.
B
Only because, like, I only got to finish.
A
I thought you were going to say something stupid like Pemdas. No, Princess. What does pemdas stand for? Pemdas.
B
Pemdas. Isn't that like P stands for? Yeah, okay. P stands for.
A
It stands for please excuse my dear Aunt Sally. But what does it stand in the mathematical world? Kat is also looking left and right like she does in no Pemdas.
C
I was homeschooled, and my mom said that I just need to learn business math.
B
So I.
C
What I did.
A
Period. So what you did learn is minding your own business math. Most of us need to learn that. I actually think that's the class that I ended up in for where I ended up.
B
What is pemdas mean?
A
Parentheses.
B
Parentheses.
A
Exclamation. Wait. Pemdas. Parentheses.
B
Did you say exclamation point?
A
No. An exclamation point. Parenthesis.
B
Extraction.
A
No. E is. Oh, my God, you excited me. Parenthesis. E. Pemdas. What the is E. Coli equation? It's the thing on the top. Parenthesis. Something.
B
Parenthesis, exponent.
A
No, you're not taking my credit. Parentheses, exponent, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. And that is the order you would solve to find X.
B
Period.
A
Period. Speaking of X, Princess, have you ever found X?
B
And there's no.
A
Exactly. I don't ever be going out looking for my exes. Never. That girl. I look ahead for the next. So for today's activity, we are going to be doing math equations in order from first grade all the way up to seventh grade. So there's seven points up for grabs, and Kat will be our teacher for the day. So we're going to do one question from each grade. So from my understanding, I feel like they learn addition in first grade, subtraction, second grade, and multiplication, division, and so on and so forth. Yeah, we have Ms. Cat today here.
B
Yo.
A
All right, Catty.
C
Y' all ready?
A
Period.
B
Yes, ma'. Am.
A
Okay, Are we allowed pens and papers for this, or do you feel like we can do it in our mental math?
C
If it was me, I would want a pen and paper.
B
Oh.
A
So, okay, let me.
B
It would.
A
Let us get a pen and paper.
B
Okay.
A
All right. And we're just gonna raise our hand once we get the answer. And I am going to be shifting my body. Let me get my bag real quick. Because I don't want my answers to be copied. Cuz I already know some copy in this world. I'm.
B
Oh my God. All right, wait, hold on. My pen is not good.
A
Do the the B1. Do the B1. And we're just going to raise our hand, right?
B
Yeah.
C
Okay, so when you get it, just raise your hand.
A
Okay.
C
First, the first grade is adding. So y' all ready? What is five plus three?
A
Eight.
C
Correct.
A
One point for me.
B
Let me put five plus three.
C
Wait, it's like raise your hand and then call on you.
A
Okay. Okay.
C
Okay.
A
Well, clearly I was already.
C
Yeah, Brett was.
A
I called myself.
C
Yeah. Okay, so second grade is subtraction. What's 18 minus 7?
A
Bretman 11. Well, yes.
C
Third grade is multiplication. What is 6 times 4?
A
Bretman 24.
C
Period. Fourth grade is division. What is 144 divided by 12?
A
Is it 12?
C
Correct?
A
Period. I didn't even have to low key.
B
I just not putting 32. Okay.
A
Okay. Well, that's already fourth grade. I got all of them right, So I feel like I won already. What?
B
I honestly feel like I actually put my hands up before.
A
Okay, okay, okay. How about you answer the next one? I won't even raise my hand.
B
Okay.
A
In the fifth grade.
C
Fifth grade is fractions.
B
Okay.
C
I don't know how. How do they say this in math? Because I. In my head, it's like in baking world. So three fourth?
A
Yeah.
C
Is that how you say it in math? Yeah. Okay, so three, four plus one half plus a half. Not one half, just a half.
A
Three what?
C
Three fourth plus a half. Princess.
B
Is it four fourth over six? No, wait, you said plus.
C
Yeah.
A
Can I answer?
B
What? Oh, wait, let me redo that again. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, dam me to do it, girl.
A
I'm literally letting you. What do you mean? I'm going to let you go until you get one. Right.
B
I'm down one and one half. Yeah.
C
Oh, no, that's not right.
B
Oh, cool.
A
How did you get one and one and a half? Princess, would you like to take us through your thought process with that?
B
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
C
I was only good at fractions because I like baking and that's how it was easy for me.
A
Princess, let me teach you how I would solve it. Can I tutor you for two seconds?
B
Wait, wait, wait.
A
Princess Keigo. Okay, it's three four, right? What would be one half of three of. Of. If your denominator was four, what is Half of that.
B
Two.
A
Okay. So it's going to turn into three four plus two four. Because one half is equals to two four. Now you add everything. That's five over four. Now you have. What the fuck? Five over four.
B
You said add four.
A
So how much force can you fit in a five?
B
Just one.
A
Okay.
B
And how do you run over.
A
So what is your answer? Sorry.
B
1 and 1 4.
C
Correct.
B
Okay.
C
That was really good. Tutoring. Bread girl.
A
I really was. I really was a real patient girl. Tutoring.
B
Thank you so much.
C
That was really good.
A
That's how I felt when I first moved to America.
C
Wow.
A
Tutoring Tutor Brady. I'm kidding.
C
Okay, so sixth grade is decimals.
A
1 4. I mean, 114 is. I'm sorry, 14 is the score.
C
Correct. Decimals. What is 2.5 times 1.2, princess?
B
3.7.
C
No.
A
Times.
B
Oh. Times, Times, times, Times.
A
I'm gonna let you cook 4.0.
C
No.
B
What?
A
How did you get there?
B
2.5 times 1.2, right?
A
Yes.
B
10. 3, 4.
C
4.3.
A
2.5 times 1.2.
B
Yeah. 2.5 times 1. 2, right. 5 times 2 equals 10. You put one over there.
A
No, girl.
B
Okay, how do you do it? 2.5 times 1.2. Then teach me how to do it, since you're so smart.
A
I actually don't know how to do this. Wait, actually, let me try. 2.5 times 1.2.
B
So 5. 2.
A
Princess. Shut the up. I think you do cross multiplication, right?
B
Asking me I can look at my notes. Even the teacher don't know.
A
Wait, hold on. Let me.
B
If I get this right, I'm going to go to four, we're going to be tied.
C
It doesn't show me how you get there.
A
2.5 times 1.2.
C
Yeah.
A
2.5 times 1. 2. Wouldn't that just be 5.2203.
C
Correct. How'd you get there? Can you show Princess?
B
I got it. I got it. Like that? Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
Four, right? It'd be four and then four and then 10. Right? Right.
A
What? What is that?
B
The two times two equals four.
A
Yes.
B
And then ti and then two times five is 10.
A
Yeah.
B
Okay.
A
Well, I actually don't even. Okay. This is how I did it. Five, two is ten.
B
Ten.
A
So that would be a zero Y and then two.
B
Two is four.
A
No, princess. And then you carry the one. You were right earlier.
B
Yeah.
A
Okay, now you do two times two times one is just two plus one three.
B
Yeah. 3.0.
A
Yeah. So three.
B
Yeah.
A
Y'. All. Did that. Did that make Sense how I did it. Because how I did it is I did. I did 2.5 times 1.2. I did 5 times 2 first. So it's 0. It's 0. Carry the 1, and then I do the 2 times 1 is just 2 plus 1 that I carried is 3. I think I did that right. But why does it feel wrong? Can all the math geniuses, not me, comment down below if I did that math right?
B
Wait, so what's the correct answer, Kat?
C
It was 3.0.
B
Okay.
C
Yeah.
A
Okay. Since we both know how to do it now, do you want to give us another question? Was that sixth grade?
C
Yeah.
A
Do you want to give us another 6.6 grade question, please?
B
Yeah.
A
So now that we both know how to do it. Yeah. I really don't know if I even did that correctly, but it made sense in my head, so nobody earned that point because I feel like that was teamwork.
B
Yeah.
A
Take up.
C
What is 2.5 times 0.4?
A
2.5 times 0.4, yeah.
B
Is it 10?
A
No, it's 4. 2.5 times 0.4.
C
Yeah. Princess, I feel like you're correct, but the decimal is in the wrong spot.
B
1.00.
C
1.0.
B
1.0. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
Oh, my God. Did princess just think.
C
Princess got it.
B
How are you gonna teach me and you don't know how to do it?
A
Oh, my gosh. Because.
B
Yeah, I put the decibel at the wrong. Because the thing doesn't actually.
A
It's not two.
B
No, it's 1.0.
C
1.0.
A
Oh. How is that? So.
C
I think time. I didn't. I wasn't paying attention because I was on my laptop, but I think when you times two times zero is zero. Right?
A
Yeah.
C
And then.
A
But five times.
C
I don't know.
A
How did you do it, princess?
B
So four times five is 20. So you put the two at the top of the.
A
Okay.
B
The two and then put the zero at the bottom. Four times two. I mean, four times. Yeah. Four times two is eight, right. And then eight and then you add the two. So that's 10 and then 10.
A
Okay, well, I'll give you that point, princess, because that actually just gave me a brain tumor. Actually. I think that gave me a stroke, actually. Like, you know what? I'll give that to you because I.
B
At least I got it right. At least I got it right.
A
And it's 2. 4. So I still want.
C
So.
A
Okay.
B
Okay.
C
It's like the blind leading the blind, Literally.
B
I can't believe I made it. Took that long for you to be like.
C
The last one is to find X. And I wrote it down cuz I feel like that'd be easier.
A
Okay. To find X. I don't know how.
B
To find X. Oh, girl, neither do I.
A
Good luck. Okay, let's go. I feel like I could find this.
C
I'll show you the paper and I'll show the camera the paper.
A
Okay.
C
And you have to find X. Ready? This is a paper.
B
This is X. X. I can't see it. Sorry. X.
A
3 x 5 equals 14 three times.
B
Wait, is it. Is that plus 3?
A
No. 3 x plus 5 equals 14. 3 x plus 5 equals 14.
B
What is this? X? This?
A
Princess, shut the up.
B
3 x 9.
A
X equals 3.
C
I don't know how you did that.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. X equals three. Like.
C
Yeah, I don't know how you find it.
A
Let me tutor you.
B
Okay.
A
Finding X. Don't ask me how to find. How to multiply decimals though. Never that.
B
Okay, go.
A
Right. Okay, so this is how I did it. So obviously you're trying to find what x is. So three times what plus five equals 14. That's what it's asking. Because when two numbers are together like that, it means a times. So three times what plus five equals 14. So I subtract five from 14. So I got nine. Now it's three. X equals nine. What? What times three equals nine is three. So three. So now you, now you plug that in. Now you plug that in. Three times three plus five equals 14.
B
14. That's what I was trying to figure out too.
A
I actually knew how to mess up in this. Don't, don't, don't, don't.
B
Wait, do another one.
A
Cat zone. Five two. By the way, I'm the rating champ of mathematics. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I will see you guys next summer school.
C
Okay, let's do ratios and proportions. That's seventh grade.
A
Oh, I thought that was sixth grade.
C
No, this is a seventh grade. Well, I think you can do like different, like variations.
A
Okay. Okay. Ratio and ratios and proportions.
C
Okay.
B
Problem.
C
If the ratio of boys to girls in the class is two to three and there are 20 boys, how many are there girls?
A
Okay, the ratio is two boys equals three girls. And how many pupils?
C
Two, 20 boys.
A
No, no, no.
C
Wait.
A
How many people? How many? Wait, wait. If there's 20 boys.
B
Yeah, there's 20 boys.
C
How many other girls?
A
30.
C
Yes. You want another one?
A
Yeah, I did. I get that point. Yeah, I did.
C
Yeah, you did. Okay, map has a scale of 1 inch per 50 miles.
A
1 inch per 50 miles.
B
Yeah.
C
Equals 50 miles. If two cities are 3.5 inches apart on the map, how many miles apart are they?
A
Wait, I'm sorry, go back. One inch is what?
B
50 miles.
C
Inch is 50 miles on a map.
B
Yeah.
A
125. No, wait.
C
What if two cities are 3.5. Oh, 3.5 apart on the map, how many miles apart?
A
175.
B
Correct.
A
I thought you said.
B
Okay, first of all, he can't. Okay, go ahead. It's fine.
A
Oh, you were. You were. You, you, you. What? Okay, next one. Give her a similar question, please.
C
A similar. Just reading down the list is percentage. Percentage.
A
Oh, wait, since. Okay, wait, princess, will you explain how I got. 175?
B
175. Okay, so wait, wait.
A
So one inch is.
B
Equals 50 miles, right? Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
And what was the three?
A
Three and a half.
B
Three and a half.
A
So 3.5.
B
3.5. Okay, and then how many inch apart?
A
You said 3.5.
B
Oh.
A
If one inch is 50.
B
Yeah. Oh, wait, is it like that?
A
Yeah. Now do the math.
B
Sarah.
A
You'Re doing the most. You're doing the Most.
B
You said 175, right?
A
Yes. It's easy, princess. If. If it's. If it's one inch equals 50 miles and on the map it's three and a half inches. So all you have to do is three and a half. Okay, what is three times 50? 150. What is half of 50? 25.
B
Now you add that 50 plus 20. Oh, okay.
A
150 plus 25 is 175. Good job. Okay, princess.
B
Girl.
A
Okay, I literally feel like tutoring you is harder than tutoring Cleo's ass girl. Cuz Cleo don't even like to be tutored.
B
Cleo's really smart, actually, and I'm.
A
She hates being taught girl.
B
Yeah. She's like, no.
A
She's like, well, you're not my teacher, so. And I'm like, you know what? You're right. You're right. I am not your teacher.
C
Going to do another 27 minutes.
A
Okay, last question. This is just for fun. Even though I already won. I don't know if y' all heard that the first time.
C
Okay, what is 20 of 60?
A
I'm gonna get her answer.
B
No, wait. 20 of 60. 20 of 60. Okay.
A
If 60 is the 100, what is 20% of that?
B
80%. Where. What was the question again?
C
What is 20% of 60?
B
20% of 60.
C
This is a decimal question, right? It's like moving decimal a couple times. Oh my gosh it's all coming back to me.
A
20% of 60. So if 60 is 100%, okay, how many 20s can you fit in? 100%.
B
I said three. I mean. Oh, five.
A
Yes. Okay, now divide. 60 divided by five.
B
60 divided by five.
A
Girl, it's about to be third period. I'm literally feeding you the answer. 60 divided by five.
B
Sixty divided by five. Hold on, let me.
A
It's gonna be like a decimal.
B
60 divided by 5. Oh, my God. I thought. I sound so fucking stupid right now. Hold on. 60 divided by 5. Hold on. 5, 10, 15, 25, 30. Oh, 12 point. 12.0. It's 12.
A
12 point period.
B
Headache.
A
12 period.
B
You know what? I woke up really early and like, you know, it's been a while.
A
Okay, girl. So we. We filmed the same time we filmed the.
B
No, I'm just kidding. I. I honestly, I feel like math was my worst enemy.
A
Yeah, I felt like math was definitely my best subject. I think it was. Because obviously, like I told you guys in the beginning, we learn it really early in the Philippines. But I think towards, like, high school level, like geometry, pre calculus, finding X, all that. I froze up, girl. I was like, yeah, yeah.
B
Honestly, like, I feel like there's. Oh, everybody has their. That one subject that just like. Like, I get so triggered whenever we go to math. Like, I would skip math and I would go get manapua.
A
Triggered is a crazy word, girl.
B
A triggered. I'd be like, oh, my God, no, I don't want to do this, period.
A
Well, princess, it's lunchtime. And after that, it's third period. We will catch you guys in history class next period after lunch.
B
Bye, guys.
A
Because my mom made me sinigang again.
B
Period, period.
A
Bye, Beach. I'll see you next Thursday.
C
Yeah.
