Math Prodject

This project came to live, I guess, by me just thinking I want to make a ramp because they are triangles so we used that idea. We said Evel Knievel wanted to jump the Mississippi river so we did that. I think the results made sense we did round it up but it still makes sense. We did the a2 plus b2 with the length of the ramp and height and we had to figure out the distance of wood needed to build from the top of the ramp to the bottom diagonally. And that is what we did. I thought it was really fun to make this because I got to make things in class and we don’t get to do that very much so it was really cool and fun.

the price is right

The past two week was more fun than the normal math. I learned that probability is actually harder than I thought. the past two weeks I didn’t learn as much about math It was easier than normal math.  I learned that probability can be controlled. Probability can be controlled in my favor or the others favor. I think imath is different because you don’t have the teachers to tell you what you are doing, or show you how to do it.
