Alpo Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I wonder why the board with the "multiplication wheel" had Mogen Davids across the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorado Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 They think the names were either students that had assigned work duties or the students that got in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I wonder why the board with the "multiplication wheel" had Mogen Davids across the top? I notice that as well. I am also courious as to how the multiplication wheel worked. I had never seen one till now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 If they are used the same today as they were back then, they seem to be another form of worksheet.https://www.superteacherworksheets.com/multiplication/circle-multiplication_TWZFT.pdf Maybe the teacher would call out a name and then point to something in the center and something on the edge = "Little Johnny, what is 6 x 9?"

Trailrider #896 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I wonder why the board with the "multiplication wheel" had Mogen Davids across the top? Was the building ever used by a Jewish school? OTOH, a six-pointed star is easier to draw than a five-pointed one. (Two triangles, one inverted on the other.) Who knows???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I just scribbled a star like I learned when I was a kid and it was a 5 pointer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
