Math games

Hey readers, we know reading out of a text book and solving questions can sometimes be boring, so we dedicaded a post to help making mah fun with games.

Like Pacman? Heres a fun math version with pacman

MATHLETE Friday :)

MATH problems:

Q: 

A number of children are standing in a circle. They are evenly spaced and the 7th child is directly opposite the 18th child. How many children are there altogether?

A:

22; in half of the circle there are 11 children because 18-7=11. Multiply 11x2=22!

Q:

We are brave sailors always riding the sea
We are less than one hundred but as tough as can be
We sleep in three bunkers on top of each other
Our numbers double from one bunker to another
We dance in joy all through the night
In groups of fives under the moonlight
Last night twelve of us were swallowed by waves
Leaving alive more than two third of the braves
Still we continue the journey refusing to fail
So tell me how many of us are left to sail?

A: 

58 sailors are left.

1. From line 2: Total number of sailors is <100.
2. From lines 3 & 4: Let number of sailors sleeping in bunker 1 be X, then number of sailors sleeping in bunker 2 is 2X and in bunker 3 is 4X,
i.e. Total number of sailors = X+2X+4X = 7X and thus it is a multiple of 7.

3. From line 6: dancing in groups of fives means the total number is a product of 5.
4. From lines 7 & 8: 12 of the sailors drowned in the sea, leaving more than two third of the sailors alive, so the total number is > 36 (3 * 12).

Summing up all the above given information, the total number of sailors is <100 and >36, it divides by 7 and 5, which adds up to the total number of 70 sailors.

Since 12 of the 70 sailors died in the sea, there are 58 sailors left to continue the journey.

Q:
A merchant can place 8 large boxes or 10 small boxes into a carton for shipping. In one shipment, he sent a total of 96 boxes. If there are more large boxes than small boxes, how many cartons did he ship?

11A merchant can place 8 large boxes or 10 small boxes into a carton for shipping. In one shipment, he sent a total of 96 boxes. If there are more large boxes than small boxes, how many cartons did he ship?

A:

11 cartons total 

7 large boxes (7 * 8 = 56 boxes)
4 small boxes (4 10 = 40 boxes
11 total cartons and 96 boxes

JOKES:

• Cakes are round but Pi are square.
• Why did the math book look so sad? Because it had so many problems.

• How can you make time fly? Throw a clock out the window!
• Why do plants hate math? Because it gives them square roots.
• What do mathematicians eat on Halloween? Pumpkin Pi.
• Why did the ath book kill himself? Because nobody understood him

Learn me up a CARTESIAN PLANE!!

TODAY.... We were all s p a c e d   o u t because, well, its a FRIDAY and were were all ZOMBIES like:

Availible at:
http://math-fail.com/2011/01/math-cats.html

 

ANYWAYS:

We all practiced and did more work on CARTESIAN PLANES!! We just LOVE our Cartesian planes!! We are (AS I AM TYPING THIS) working on how to get the axis 'Y' coordinates using an EQUATION.

THAT EQUATION IS: Y=MX+B

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

-Y & X are the Axis' on a Cartesian plane
-M is the amount that the line heads up by or down by
-B is where the line crosses over the Y axis

WE ALSO WATCHED A VIDEO!!!

We are now practicing!
One problem we had to solve was 'What Is The'Y' Coordinates?'...

if..... M=3
         B=5
AND.... The Table is:

                                                           X             Y
                                         1                    ?
                                         3                    ?
                                         5                    ?
                                         7                    ?



*HINT* The Equation is Y=MX+B

      Y=MX+B            Y=MX+B       Y=MX+B      Y=MX+B         
      Y=3(1)+5             Y=3(3)+5        Y=3(5)+5      Y=3(7)+5
      Y=3+5                  Y=9+5            Y=15+5         Y=21+5
      Y=8                       Y=14              Y=20             Y=26


Now we can finish our Table!!


 
                             X           Y
                                        1                 8            
                                        3                 14
                                        5                 20                
                                        7                 26
 NOW WE CAN FILL OUT OUR CARTESIAN PLANE!!!!!!!!!
 
*I can't do this virtually so... sorry :(

Today the Grade 8 Math class is writing their unit test on Rational Numbers.

If finished early, here is an interesting video to get you thinking about one of our next units.

 

 

 

 

Please share your thoughts in the comment section!

Rational Numbers!!!!

This week we learnt about rational numbers.
A rational number is a number that can be simplified as a fraction.
eg.)0.354354354... is a rational number because it keeps repeating 354, as a fraction it would be 354/999. 4 is a rational number because its 4.000 and zero is repeating, its fraction would be 4/1.
a rational number is not a number that is not repeating the same number
eg.) pie is not a rational number because it doesn't repeat the same number.
a rational number can be ether a decimal, fraction, or an integer.

There is a rule of "9", and the rule is:
1.) figure out if its repeating one. two, three...digit numbers. 
2.) rewrite what is repeating, and have 9 as the denominator if it is a one digit #, if it's a two digit # it would be 99. ect.
eg,) 0.354354354, since its a three digit # it would be 354/999.

What would Grandi Say?

I challenge you...
  Figure out this equation using Grandi's theory!

       1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1..........    (p.s it goes on forever... and ever...and ever...!!)
