PIT AND PENDULUM A man in one of Edgar Alen Poe’s creations is being held captive with a giant pendulum swinging above him. He needs to find a way to get out of his ropes before he is sliced to bits. I learned how to measure swings and time as well as how to use spreadsheets to make my learning flow simply. We found that he would have made the escape because of how far the pendulum is and how fast it was swinging. He would have made it with 72 seconds so he would live with 12 seconds left. |

POW #2 This is the second POW (Problem Of the Week) that we made in math it was about finding how many squares their are in a 8x8 square. At first you would think that cant be too hard right and you'd be right except that the squares can over lap. So the real trick is to find a pattern or method to find the amount of squares in the 8X8. I found that you can find centers of squares starting from 1x1 to 8x8 I found that there are 208 squares in the square. 9/20/22 |
ALICE UNIT:
This unit was about the scene from Alice in Wonderland where she eats cake and drinks a liquid. We were trying to find exponential equations for her rate of growth and rate of shrinking. We used many exponential and Log equations to learn about her height. I feel that I learned a lot during this unit of math because I did not know how to use exponents that had place holding letters in them. I also learned that
POW #7
This POW was about a clock that was 10, 3, and 7 minutes off. We had to figure out when a correct clock would show the same time as the broken clock. I found this POW to be super exciting. The problem was definitely confusing until I found the equation. I got a 21/21 which is an A.
