Code Breakers

In this activity i had to take a grid sheet, use a code to make a picture.
An example of the code would be:00000100001100111
in my group we had 323 numbers and with these numbers we had to find to prime numbers that go into 323 and we found the numbers 17,19 and the size of our picture was going to be 17 X 19.

The outcome of this activity was i learned how to use codes such as the one above to  make a picture and how prime numbers are useful.

 This activity was very fun i enjoyed doing it, and would love to do it again even though my picture came out slightly imperfect. Believe it had a geometry/algebra value. And learning more about prime numbers.

Civilization does need math for technology.

Learning The Language Of Math

3 Reasons why we need math.
Math is used everyday in our lives, theres a 75% chance that our college major will have something to do with math, Math has alot to do with currency that everybody uses.

I think it is really important for the student body to study math, theyll need it in the long run. I dont think theres to much emphasis on algebra, because the engineering field has to do alot with algebra. I used to belive that the things teacher's were teaching us was not going to be needed in my future, but now that i think about like after college i kno that it really will be needed, the math your teaching us isnt outdated.

My plans after college are to become a electrical engineer, they design circuts work computers i believe that MATH!!!! will be much needed

Math In Daily Life

My topic is about Grocery Stores.
I chose this topic because you use alot of math in grocery stores.
Math is used in this topic because there might be sales on food, you use coupons and you want to find out the sale price. At the cash registar you count out money to give to the cashier,
Math is useful in this topic because you need to kno how much money you have, and you need to kno how much money to give the cashier.

Ex:
If a 12-pack of coke is $5.23 and you have a coupon for $2 off, the that means the price of the 12 pack of coke is going to be $3.23.

Math Used In Movies

In the movie Alice And Wonderland, they used math by using fractions. The person pouring the tea had the fraction 10/6 on his top hat. He then asked alice if she wanted a half (1/2) cup of tea, they split the whole cup in to half and poured the tea into her cup.

In the scene phineas and ferb's friend Buford solves a math problem.
