We were asked to do two consecutive in class "free" writings, each 4 min. long in duration. We were supposed to write continuously, writing "I can't think of something to write" repeatedly until we had a new idea/sentence to write. In transferring my writing from class, I have marked those instances by replacing the above statement with "..." for brevity.
Timed "free" writing on Division (4 min):
Making something big small. Making distinctions. Individualizing or categorizing. Dividing a room. ... Making tasks simple. ... Breaking to smaller chunks. What does it mean to divide a number by itself? What does it mean to divide a number by zero? What about dividing zero by any number? Dividing zero by zero? Making a long journey into smaller segments. Making shapes into smaller parts.
Times "free" writing on Zero (4 min):
Looks like a circle. Is the first integer, the middle point between negative and positive numbers. It is elusive! How many zeros can you fit in a zero? How many zeros can you fit in one? What is the size of zero? Why do you get zero when you multiply another number by zero? You get the same number when you add it to zero. A number minus itself is zero. ... Zero is complex, yet so simple. Its whole, yet empty. Can God be zero? ... Zero is in the shape of a circle. 0! (zero factorial) is one, why? ... Zero means focus: zeroing on things, narrowing down. Zero is nothing, nil, nothing, zilch, notta.
