Why I like math?

I like math because it's something you need to know for the rest of your life. It will help you in the real world when you graduate from college. So if you want to succeed, learn your math!

 

What I like best in math?

I like multiplication in math the best because it's one of the only subjects I feel like I can get an A plus on every time

 #19 The night of the Nightcrawlers
By: Axel Lindquist

Terror ravaged the little town of Little Town. Women ran and screamed as they heard the dreadful “SLITHER SLITHER” sound coming from the base of the town square. The exponential growth of confusion was responsible for the multiple car wrecks on the street. Tonight the town feared for their lives from… THE NIGHTCRAWLER!!!
        The nightcrawler had escaped from “Little Tommy’s” habitat, had burrowed into the ground, and struck fear into the very hearts of the bravest man. This 2in monster had people using the term, “ Giving Tommie that thing was like a child a gun!” Tommy's parents were forced to distribute excuses to substitute for the truth that Tommy's dad had dropped the jar containing the nightcrawler. Tommy's dad then underestimated the power that the nightcrawler had. It escaped!
        The army was soon called in to assist the people, and Tommy's parents had to simplify the events of what had occurred last night.  The army decided to drill a hole in the town and bait, so that the nightcrawler might emerge where they could take it down.
        The town had glum expressions as they listened to the constant drilling sounds that came from the west part of town. Then came the sound everyone feared, “ SLITHER SLITHER!”
        The army’s infantry shook in their boots when they saw the expanded form of the nightcrawler. How could it grow!? It was a whopping 3in long! The men opened fire, and took the beast down. The town’s people cheered and cried with joy. The night of the nightcrawler was at an end!

Term: A variable, a number, or a number and a variable multiplied together.

 

Ex: 1, a, 1a

 

Variable: A letter that we use when we don’t know a number.

 

Ex: 5=f

 

Constant: A number or letter that stands by itself.

 

Ex: 4x-7=10 (7 is the constant)

 

Coefficient: A number that multiplies the variable.

 

Ex: 4x-7=10 (4 is the coefficient)

 

Algebraic Expression: An equation including a constant, term, variable, and coefficient.

 

Ex: 4x-7=10

 

 

 

Ex: 4x+6y-8=91

 

 

 

Here is how you simplify an algebraic expression. First you see if there are two or more variables that are the same. You add these the up to get the variable and coefficient part of the expression. Then you add up all of the constants. If you do this correctly you will have a simplified expression.

 

 

Ex: -y+4y-6+7          Answer: 3y+1

Title: Land vs. Water

 

Countries: Cuba, Afghanistan

 

Big Question: Do landlocked countries have a faster population growth than having access to water?

 

Hypothesis: Landlocked will have a faster growth rate than coastal countries.

 

Findings: (Double Spaced)

 

We found that Afghanistan, landlocked, had a larger population than Cuba by 2000. Even though both countries had their population increase, Cuba’s population was about 11 million. This is half of Afghanistan’s population total of 21 million.

 

The red line is Afghanistan (landlocked) and the blue line is Cuba  (coastline)     

 

Conclusions: (Double Spaced)

 

Our conclusion was that landlocked countries tend to have a larger population than coastal countries. This usually is because the land offers more food for people to eat, but the ocean can only supply fish to the population. This means that coastal people can only eat a certain amount of food per day. This causes the population very slowly increase.

Reflection:

 

What I liked about this project: We liked this project because we thought that it was a very interesting topic to research. We  also thought that it was a question that we both wanted to know more about. We also learned some new things about how countries adapt to their location and how they grow on their adaptations.

 

What I would improve about this project: We could’ve included more countries and some larger ones to see if a larger country would have a harder time adapting because of their greater population. We also could’ve included two countries with more similar land space.
