Math Project # 8 - Algebra

Due date : Monday, February 2, 2009

1. Find the number described in each problem by writing and solving an equation
a) If Sarah substracts five times her number from 24, she gets 4. What is Sarah's number?
b) Twice Bill's number added to 17 is 7. What is Bill's number?
c) The sum of 4 times a number and 14 is 16. What is the number?
d) If Susan substracts 11 from one fourth of her number she gets 11. What is Susan's number?

2. The school drama club is performing its summer play at the community theatre. Props for the play cost $250, and the theatre is charging the drama club $1.25 for each ticket sold. So, the total cost, C, for the drama club to put on the play is C=1.25N+250, where N is the number of tickets sold. Customers pay $4 for each ticket, so the total amount collected from ticket sales is T=4N.
a) What is the cost if 213 tickets are sold?
b) How much are the total ticket sales if 213 tickets are sold?
c) What is the drama club's profit or loss if 213 tickets are sold?
d) If the total ticket sales are $780, how many people attended the play?
e) What is the cost of putting on the play for the number of people you found in d)?
f) How many tickets does the drama club need to sell to break even?
g) The drama club would like to earn a profit of $500 from play. How many tickets need to be sold for the club to meet this goal?

Algebra Practice

Terry has a walking rate 1 meter per second.
Jade has a walking rate 2 meters per second.
Jerome has a walking rate 2.5 meters per second.

1. If Terry, Jade, and Jerome leave school together and walk toward the frozen yogurt shop at the rates given, how far apart will they be after 1 minute?

2. If the yogurt shop is 750 meters from school, how long will it takes each student to walk there?

3. When Jerome arrives at the yogurt shop, how far away will Terry be?

4. Make a table showing the distance walked by each student after different numbers of seconds. How does the walking rate affect the data in the table?

5. Graph the time and distance data for the three students on the same coordinate axes. How does the walking rate affect the graphs?

6. For each student, write an equation that gives the relationship between the time and the distance walked. Let "d" represent the distance in meters and "t" represent the time in seconds. How does the walking rate affect the equations?

How to teach algebra to the children (part 2)

In this experiment, you will do an experiment to test some of the principles involved in building bridges.

Equipment : several A4 of paper, two books of the same thickness, a small plastic cup, and about 50 pennies.

Directions :
1. Make a paper "bridge" by folding up 2 cm on the each long side of one of the paper strips.
2. Suspend the bridge between the two books. The bridge should be overlap each book by about 1 cm. Place the plastic cup in the center of the bridge.
3. Put pennies into the cup, one at a time, until the bridge crumples. Record the number of pennies you added to the cup. This number is the "breaking weight" of the bridge.
4. Put two strips together to make a bridge of double thickness. Find the breaking weight for this bridge. Repeat this experiment to find breaking weight for bridges made from three, four, and five strips of paper.

Questions :
Before answering the questions, you have to make a table and draw a straight line on a grid paper that seems to fit the pattern in the (thickness - on the horizontal axes, breaking weight - on the vertical exes) data you graphed.
1. Based on your graph model, what breaking weights would you predict for bridges 6 layers thick and 7 layers thick?
2. Suppose you could use half-layers of paper to build the bridges. What breaking weights would you predict for bridges 2.5 layers thick and 3.5 layers thick?
3. Could you make an equation that related between layers thick (x) and breaking weight (y), which is the equation would be y = mx + c ? Where : m is the slope or gradient and c is constant or y-intercept on the graph.

How to teach algebra to the children (part 1)

In this experiment, you will investigate how the height from which a ball is dropped is related to the height it bounces.

Equipment : a meterstick and a ball that bounces.

Directions :
1. Make a table with columns for recording drop height and bounce height.
2. Hold the meterstick perpendicular to a flat surface, such as an uncarpeted floor, table, or a desk.
3. Choose and record a height on the meterstick as the height from which you will drop the ball. Hold the ball at this height.
4. Drop the ball, and record the height of the first bounce. (You may have to do this several times before you feel confident you can make a good estimate of the bounce height).
5. Repeat this for several different drop heights.

Questions :
Before answering the questions, you have to make a coordinate graph of data you collected.
1. What variables did you investigate in this experiment? Describe the relationship between the variables.
2. Predict the bounce height for a drop height of 2 meters. Explain how you made your prediction.
3. Predict the drop height needed for a bounce height of 2 meters. Explain how you made your prediction.
4. What bounce height would you expect for a drop height of 0 (zero) centimeters? Where would this be on the graph?
5. Could you make an equation that related between drop height (x) and bounce height (y), which is the equation would be y = mx + c ? Where : m is the slope or gradient and c is constant or y-intercept on the graph.

Math Project # 7 - Algebra

Henri has been walking every day and has increased his speed. He now walks at a rate of 2 meters per second. Emile has not been practicing but finds that he can still walk at a rate of 2.5 meters per second. Emile and Henri decide to have another race. Emile gives his brother a head start of 40 meters.

1. Write an equation for each brother that shows the relationship between distance walked and time.

Direction : Use graphs, tables, or your equations to answer questions 2-4. In each question, sketch the section of graph (with the sclae marked) or the table and indicate where you found the answers, or record the computational work you do.

2. Find each brother's distance at 60 seconds.

3. Find the time when Emile catches up with his brother.

4. What are the y-intercepts? Explain how you can find the y-intercepts in each representation-table, graph, and equation.

Math Project # 6 - Algebra

1. Find one example of relationship data of two variables (can be in short story / problem, can be in form of table or graph or chart)

2. Predict what will happen or how much is the y-axis value if you increase the x-axis value until 10 units.
