¿Mate?

¿Mate?
 
íHola!
Se trata de un ejercicio propuesto en un curso de español para estranjeros:
¿UN POCO DE MATES?
siete ciruelas x 2 = catorce ciruelas

..................... x 6 = doce coliflores

Es algo como "multiplication table"?
Gracias y saludos,
Jan

I don't really understand your question. Mates = maths :thinking: :rolleyes:

Yes, "mates" ("mate" is another thing) is the common word form "matemáticas" among students. :)

..................... x 6 = doce coliflores
For those who would like to know how we read those mathematical signs:

Siete ciruelas por dos, igual a catorce ciruelas
Dos coliflores por seis, igual a doce coliflores

"Un poco de mates" doesn't sound bad to me. ;)

One more for the regional variations then. :)

Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns, formulate new conjectures, and establish truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions.(WKPD)

Arithmetic or arithmetics (from the Greek word ἀριθμός = number) is the oldest and most elementary branch of mathematics, used by almost everyone, for tasks ranging from simple day-to-day counting to advanced science and business calculations.(WKPD)
My idea is that we're doing exercises of arithmetic and not mathematics.

What do you think about?

I think that because

Arithmetic .. is the oldest and most elementary branch of mathematics
and if we are doing exercises in arithmetic then by definition we are also doing exercises in mathematics. Simple mathematics, but still mathematics. :p :)

Ustedes están mal del mate...


(And now what?) :rolleyes:

Anybody else has that use?

Recuerdo que tomaba mate con mi abuela. A ella le gustaba amargo, a mi con pan de azucar;)

Un ejercicio de matemáticas (en la Argentina, matemática -que es una sola-), en particular uno de aritmética -una rama de la matemática o una de las "matemáticas", según el uso de cada país-.

Será porque acá hay gente a la que le zumba el mate.

chileno February 19, 2011 07:10 AM
Entonces mate= cabeza en Argentina, así como en Chile. :)
