Design Your Own Project
For this project we learned about different types of mathematical content. Some of the content includes Pythagorean Theorem which is where the square of the opposite side of the right angle is equal to the sum of the other two sides.(Image below)
The distance formula is where you use the formula to find the distance between two points. (Image below)
We learned about the equation of a circle Which is just a simple equation you plug in. (Image below)
We went over units circle. A unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1.
Up above is another example of some of the material we learned. The difference is that in this image it is filled out but for us we had to figure it out using some other given information.
Description
Project description: For this project we got a partner and we had to choose and object to find the volume of. My partner and I chose to find the volume of a pen.
Math
Down below is my math for this project. I basically just plugged in the information I know into the volume formulas. Our first steps were taking measurements and then making the pen into basic shapes. We simplified the pen into a cone and cylinder. After that we plugged everything in. Down below is what we got.
Reflection
In this project we learned how to plug in formulas to find the volume of different objects. We also learned how to split up the work evenly. She did the reflection and conclusion and I I learned more group work skills because I had to explain the math to her so I ended up understanding it more. I helped
