  2. This is dedicated to my teacher, Mrs. Weissman. Who showed me the beauty of everyday math.

  3. FINALLY!! The last day of school until… WINTERBREAK!!!!! I thought I was gonna be homework-free for the next two weeks! Hooray!!!

  4. HoMeWoRk Until Mrs. Weissman introduced me to my Just like that my vacation was doomed. I had to create a presentation explaining Everyday Math? Mrs. Weissman said we use everyday math all of the time. Which is kind of weird because I thought math was when the teacher talks about numbers and stuff.

  5. The bell rings and winter break begins, but my homework has no end. Ring!! I thought to myself how in the world am I gonna do a presentation on “Everyday Math” over break? Right then and there I was cursed. I had a MAth CuRsE!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!

  6. Problem #1 My plane leaves at 10:00 a.m. I’m leaving at 7:45 a.m. It takes 20 minutes to drive to the airport. It takes 1 hour & 5 minutes to check in my bags, go through security, and get to the destination where my plane takes off. How much spare time do I have until the plane leaves? A.) 50 minutes B.) 45 minutes C.) 6 seconds The next morning millions of problems filled my mind trying to get out of my brain. FAST FACT When I was waiting for my plane to take off the curse made me think about Albert Einstein and why he’s so important to Math and Science. I figured out he discovered the photoelectric effect. ?????? Why did Einstein always stick out his tongue?

  7. Problem #1: A; 50 minutes Solve: 7:45 am + 20 minutes + 1 hr + 5 minutes = 9:10 am. The difference between 9:10 am & 10:00 am is 50 minutes. YOU DID IT!!!!!!

  8. The curse kept getting worse and worse!!! There are 31 rows on my plane, five seats in each row. I stepped onto the plane… Problem #2 How many seats are on the plane? Fast Fact Pi is a number that defines the area of a circle. The equation radius squared times Pi finds the area of the circle. How many arms are on the plane? If everyone on the plane was an octopus how many arms are on the plane? Pi has made me very hungry. My family and I are in row 27. Assuming It takes 2 steps per row for everyone in my family how many steps will it take until my family and I get to my seat?????? Problem #3

  9. Solve Problem #2: 1. 31 rows x 5 seats = 155 seats. • Problem #2: • 155 seats • 2. 310 arms • 3. 1,240 arms 2. 155 seats x 2 arms per person = 310 arms. Great Job 3. 155 seats x 8 arms per octopus = 1,240 arms. Solve Problem #3: Problem #3: 270 steps 27 rows x 2 steps per row = 54 steps. 54 steps x the 5 members in my family = 270 steps I wish I was as smart as you!

  10. My mind kept going CRAZY!!! My family and I went to a Six Flags in L.A. California. I went on a ride that had a 255 ft. drop. It takes 3 ½ seconds to get to the bottom of the drop. How many mph was it going. Problem #5 I went on a ride that went 7 times upside down, there were corkscrews and loops. If there were 3 loops, what was the percentage of corkscrews on the ride? Problem #6 How many times did I throw up? Problem #4 On one ride I was lying on my stomach. Was I perpendicular, vertical, or horizontal? Problem #7 The park opened at 10:00 a.m. It takes around 2 hrs 45 minutes to get to the amusement park. It takes 10 minutes to get ready, and my family and I wanted to be there 30 minutes before Six Flags opened. What time did we leave? A 6:35 a.m. B 6:50 a.m. C 7:00 a.m.

  11. Solve Problem #4: Problem #4: 72.85 mph If distance = rate x time then D = R x T. The distance is 255 ft. & the time is 3.5 seconds, then 255= R x 3.5. 255 divided 3.5 = 72.85 mph. Problem #5: %57.14 Solve Problem #5 Well, if the there are 3 loops then there has to be 4 corkscrews, because 7 – 3 = 4. Since we know the amount of the corkscrews there are, now you need to find the percentage of 4 corkscrews out of 7. So what you do now is 4 divided by 7 which equals 0.5714. Finally, you move the decimal of 0.5714 two times because percentage it is out of 100, and you’ll get a final answer of %57.14 Problem #6: Horizontal Solve Problem #6 Problem #7: A; 6:35 am In this problem you should use process of elimination. You wouldn’t be perpendicular, because that means intersecting. You would not be vertical because you would be standing on your feet so you would be horizontal, because you would be on your stomach if you were horizontal and none of the other choices make sense. Solve Problem #7 The way you solve this problem is you work backwards. First, you add up all of the time periods; 2 hrs, 45 minutes, 30 minutes, and 10 minutes. When you add those all up you get a total of 3 hrs and 25 minutes. Finally you subtract 3 hrs 25 minutes from 10:00 am and get an answer of 6:35 am.

  12. MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH Problem #8 Problem #10 I went to the most delicious place in the world (In n’ Out Burger) with my family. The cost was $26.95 without tax. If the tax was 8.75%, what was the total cost? On the way back from Palm Springs, California I had a flight at 1:20 pm. The flight got delayed to 3:30 pm. By how many hours and minutes did my departure time increase? MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH A: $29.31 B: $ 30.36 C: $ 26.95 MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH Problem #9 One night I was playing Monopoly with my family. I had a monopoly with houses that cost $150 each. If I wanted 4 houses on each property (there are 3 properties in a monopoly), how much money did I have to pay? A: $1,650 B: $1,800 C: $2,050 MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH

  13. Problem #8: A; $29.31 Solve Problem 8: First, you divide $26.95 by 100 to find 1% which is $0.2695. Then, multiply $0.2695 x 8 to find 8% which is $2.156. Then, go back to 1% $0.2695 and divide by 4 and then multiply by 3 to find 75% of 1% which equals $0.202. Then add $2.156 + $0.202 which equals $2.358. Then, add $2.358 + $26.95 which equals $29.308. Finally since its out of money you round $29.308 and get an answer of $29.31. Problem #9: A;$1,800 Solve Problem 9 In this problem you multiply $150 x 3 x 4 and get a total of $1,800. Solve Problem 10 First in this problem you want to find how many hours there are between 1:20 and 3:30. You think from 1:20 to 2:20 is 1 hr, from 2:20 to 3:20 is 2 hrs, and you can’t add on anymore hours so now you know there is 2 hrs between 1:20 and 3:30. Now to figure out how many minutes there is between 3:20 and 3:30. So you obviously see there’s 10 minutes between the two time periods so your answer is 2 hrs and 10 minutes. Problem #10: 2 hrs and 10 minutes

  14. I can’t take it anymore!! My mind is spinning in every direction! I’m stuck in this horrid math curse forever. Unless? There’s known to be one way to get out of the Math Curse’s trauma. You need to solve one problem, but this problem isn’t a walk in the park. This problem is supposed to be the hardest problem known to man kind. The Problem is…

  15. 2 + 2

  16. Aha!! 2 + 2, how in the world am I supposed to figure out that? Think… Think… Well, 2 + 0 = 2, 2 + 1= 3, so 2 + 2 must equal 4! Hooray!! Finally, my brain is math-free! Although the Math Curse got on my nerves, I learned that we use math in our everyday lives, just like Mrs. Weissman said. I Math
