No harm done.
Penelope wasn't entirely sure that she had explained the problem in a way that the professor would understand, but the professor had said that she could move a desk from the back row, so she would do that. "Thank you, professor." Penelope returned to the desk in the front row and gathered everything that she had left there. After choosing a desk in the back row she moved it backwards into the open space. That would be much more comfortable with out all the desks and other students around her. She wouldn't feel trapped by close together desks here. Penelope sat down fewling much more comfortable and got out parchment and a quill for taking notes.

"I know we still have a few moments before the bell to begin class rings, but we have a lot to do today. Now, many of you will have guessed the topic for today's lesson to be muggle mathematics.." she began. After a slight hesitation, she finished with, "..but that would not be correct." Then Tiara paused for a few moments to let the sighs of relief she knew would come die down.
With a flick of her wand, a large number appeared on the board.
Extremely large, in fact. "Today for the Arithmancy portion we will be working mostly out of chapter three. So, first task as we wait for any last minute stragglers: please use the tried and true reduction method for this number." No need for her to explain why they were doing it just yet.. she'd let the suspense hang for juuuust a bit longer.
OOC: Class has officially begun, but if you need to wrap up a conversation at the beginning of your post that's totally fine!
Class was starting now. Penelope looked up at the board and saw the number that Professor Tanner had written. They had to use the reduction method on 441,315,565,100.
There. Her answer was 8. Penelope looked over her work to check for mistakes. She didn't see any obvious mistakes. It wasn't really difficult to use the reduction method on large numbers. You just had to break it down into smaller numbers.
