Math Project Pythagorean Theorem

After the project was finished, we felt satisfied. Laying out the problem was much more challenging than previously expected. The model was hands down the hardest part, however; making a triangular model, this being a city, and finding how to apply it was very frustrating.

Our story problem is…
Jim and Sally wanted to go to library to go get some books. From Sally’s house to Library A is 9 miles away. They went to the library and couldn’t find the book they were looking for. They decided to go to Library B. Library B is 10 miles away from Library A. They went inside and found the book! They then went back to home. What is the distance (or hypotenuse) to Sally’s house? Round to the nearest tenth.

A^2 + B^2 = C^2
9^2 + 10^2 = C^2
81 + 100 = C^2
181 = C^2
181=C
13.5 = C

Metaphor Writing
I am a Jungle. A jungle has many things. I am also made up of many different things too. The first way I am like a jungle is that there are many trees. Trees are the thing that holds the forest together and if someone takes them away it changes the forest. My life is like that because if I try to be like someone then the special things that are a part of me are taken away from me. My life would be nothing if I didn’t have trees because I wouldn’t be myself. My life would not be fun because I would constantly trying to be someone else. If people keep trying to change me, I will not become myself I would become a whole different person than I am now, so I am not going to let that happen.
I am also like a jungle because of all the animals. The animals are my friends it is what makes up the jungle. My life is so full of friends, I try to be friends with everyone. Some of my friends are like sloths always lazy and don’t care what they are doing. Others are like snakes sneaking around trying to do something to me that funny. Others are like elephants because they are playful and they alway like doing things. If I didn’t have these animals/friends in my life I wouldn’t be like a jungle.
I am also like a jungle with it hidden things. In the jungle there are many things to be discovered. I am still discovering things about God and myself. Something’s about God are how he will alway be with me and he is living inside of me and I should live that he is in me. Also God doesn’t care if you make mistakes he is alway there to forgive you. Somethings about me are that I am learning to become a better listener when I am in a group I can sometime have things go in one ear and out the other, I can learn to be a better listener. I have discovered that I am good at talking to people even when I shouldn’t be, I need to put myself in a spot where I don’t get distracted.
Finally, I am like a jungle with it’s plants. In the jungle there are many different plants. They are alway discovering and learning about the new plants. I have new plants everyday I am constantly learning new things. I go to school and learn about many different things. A venus fly trap is like math because you get trapped inside with all the math facts and it never goes away. Orchids are like Language arts because they are good smelling like Mrs. Roskamp’s room. Bamboo are like bible because we are learning about God and as we go out and make more christians Bamboo is trying to get back from being endangered so they are growing in number too.

God Sightings

hvandenberg21 on

This weekend I was helping in Sunday school. I saw a lot of little kids using all their gifts. Some had reading skills so they could read some had drawing skills so they could draw very well, some used there socializing to talk a lot, some used there baseball skills. God gives us all different skills and we have to use them in the way God wants us to use them.
