Spring Break! Puzzles!! :)

Hello! This Have Some Over Spring Break! But Here are Some Puzzles To Pump Some Brain Power Over The Spring Break Weekend! :) Woo-Hoo!! Good Luck! :P Hehe


Puzzle #1: How many hexagons, in total,
can you find in this puzzle. Clue: there are more than 45.

Answer Puzzle #1: There are 64 hexagons in total. There are 37 single hexagons, 19 hexagons which contain 7 smaller hexagons, 7 hexagons which contain 19 smaller hexagons and one large hexagon which contains all of the smaller hexagons.


Puzzle #2: Above is 99, moving only two lines, can you turn this into 25?

Answer Puzzle #2:



Puzzle #3: Can you draw exactly 4 straight lines
that pass through ALL 9 spots, without removing your pen from the paper?

Answer Puzzle #3:


Puzzle #4: Place the digits from 1 to 9 into
the circles so that the sum of the numbers in each straight line is the same.

Answer Puzzle #4:

Finally.....

Puzzle #5: What number comes next in this sequence?

986888
724864
143224

Answer Puzzle #5: 468: each line is generated by multiplying two digits at a time of the previous line. 986888 = (9x8)(6x8)(8x8) = 724864 = (7x2)(4x8)(6x4) = 143224 = (1x4)(3x2)(2x4) = 468.

Post Your Answers In Comment Box And I'll Post The Correct Answer On the Last Day Of Spring Break!!

answer?
Dilatations.

Dilatations are the transformations of shapes by making them BIGGER or smaller.
The text book Glossary puts it in a more simple way. The transformation that changes the size of an object.
Out of all honesty *sounds like something Uyen would say* , I find this a teensy bit easier than Rotations. Because, unlike Rotations. This concept uses a Mapping rule.
and that mapping rule is . . .
( x, y) ▬▬▬► ( kx , ky )
"k" being that SCALE factor
simply put the number of time you multiply the x & y coordinates by to get (x , y) Primed

Let's say we have
[ ▲xyz ]
and the coordinates for the triangle were
[x] = (-2 , 8)
[y] = ( 6 , 2)
[z] = ( 4, -2)
and the scale factor is " 2 " or we want it TWICE as BIG
we multiply the X & Y by 2. so the coordinates for [ ▲xyz '] is . . .
[x'] = (-4 , 16)
[y'] = (12 , 4)
[z'] = ( 8 , -4)

try it on a grid . . .
[ ▲xyz ] is twice the size of [ ▲xyz ']

well, that's it for me. i gotta finish my map of atlantis. TAKE CARE ALL!!
KEEP IT RAWKING!

I miss you jellybeans :(

Well, I will put it in writing...being sick sucks.

I am happy to hear that everyone is cooperating with the subs and finishing their work. It sounds like Mr. Tram will definitely be the next sub I call if I have to be away. I'm glad to hear that Jason has officially deamed Eric as smart. I knew that all along...that's why he frustrates me so much. I am very lucky to teach such a bright jellybean jar. I know that everyone of you is capable of amazing things when you put forth your best effort.

See you on Monday,
Ms. A

march 16

We had a substitute teacher named Mr. Tram since almost all of us are done in our homework in page 306 he showed us bunch of cool games. The games that he showed us is the polar bears, the coins, and many more we had to try it but some of it are confusing and he showed a trick how to get the answer immedietly then someone will put three four digit number.

:P

March 16

Woah! Today was the greatest, we had a substitute and his name was Mr.Tram. Lotta people were already done all their work, so Mr.Tram showed us a bunch of games. I don't really feel like taking the time to explain them all right now, but if you want me to tell you, just ask me at school next week.

And, um... Eric Everton is oficially smart now, he solved that back-spin puzzle game, if you don't know what that is, it's the game with the two sides and all the different colored balls and you need to put the balls in the right area. I was trying it for so long, then Eric just comes along and finished it. It only took him like...Two minutes. I'm so jealous.

Anyways, I gotta wrap this up so...I got one more thing to say

DON'T DO DRUGS!! It'll bring SLUTTEN FO DE!!

Reflections and Translations

Sorry I coulnd't send in a post early because I didn't have the time to, sorry.
The day I was supposed to send in my post we learned alot of stuff like reflections where we have to reflect a given shape on a grid. We had to reflect by the given reflection line. Then we had to do some classwork-pgs.304-305,#1,#8-18 and #20-26.

Reflections and Translations

Today's scribe

Today in class we finished working on that transformation worksheet but if u did finish it in class it was for homework. We also did a transformation dance that a student made up. It was fun but Ms. Armstrong's dance was a little better then the student's dance.

Jason E

late report(failing)new one

translating a shape or coordinate
talking about x- axis, the - sign means going to the left, and + sign mean going to the right..
y- axis, the sign - means going down, and + going up...

translate this in words(x-4,y+5)
word: x going to the left 4 spots, and going up 5 spots..

get it?
its kinda short, but easy, just like dancing too...

REFLECTION & REFLECTION LINE

Today we learned new words and new stuff about the grid. Ms. Armstrong taught us on how to locate the reflection of a triangle by using the reflection line. We also did the grid dance.

Reflection or flip:A mirror image of an object without changing the size or shape.

Reflection line or mirror or axis of symmetry: Is the line which becomes the center of the reflected images.

Here is a site a found on the internet that help you guys/girls in translations. Thanks Michele for telling me how to link.

Transformation site

I found this transfromtion site with slops so go check it out but the link does not work so hear is the site address.

I made a link

I can make it as a link.

happy faces ahha (:

CONGRUENT: the flower peddles are congruent because all (or maybe just two or three of them) are the same size and shape.

TRANSLATION: this diagram shows how shapes are moved from one point to another, which is called translation (but the triangles are also congruent because although they get moved over, they maintain the same shape and size).

My printer's ink is all gone. Can't get in trouble for not doing my homework though :)(Y). okaaaaaay !

3PT WORD

Today the class learned new words to help us on the booklet Ms. Armstrong handed out. Some of the words were mapping rules, quadrant, vertices/vertex, and congruent.

Mapping Rule: Give the direction of the translations. x -> is left/right and y -> is up/down. EXAMPLE: (x,y)-> (x+3, y-5)

Quadrant: one of the region on a coordinate grid, counter clockwise

Vertices-Plural/Vertex-Singular: The point where two lines meet or cross

Congruent: Two or more shapes that are the same size and shape. EXAMPLE: R and R = Congruent, but R and T are not congruent.

HEYY

Well I am Reseach director and now I found this cool website here But there is no toool bar where i am now i'm really sorry guy i will get it to u as soon as i can okay BYE!!!

HI!! What Happened today!!!

Hey you guys....I'm here again to tell you what happened today. Today we started reveiwing the how to move coordinates and how to write them.
For example. How do you write discribe the translation in words like (x,y)---->(x+3,y+4) the coordinates is x moves 3 to the right and y moves 4 up.
Then we learned how to move the shapes on a graph like
For example. The prime coordinates are A(3,2) B(-1,4) C(3-,5-) (x,y)-->(x-4.y+2)

How to do: Find the coordinates of A B C then when u do move them make sur to LABLE!!! like A1 B1 and C1
*EVERYTIME YOU MOVE THE COORDINARTE IT GROWS TO A LARGER NUMBER LIKE IF U MOVE A1 AGAIN IT TURNES TO A2

WEll THATS ALL 4 TODAY BYE TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD!!

UYEN ^_^

Something big is happening soon

Something big is happening soon and you can be a part of DMCI history. Don't let anyone know, but I'll give you a clue. It starts on March 14, 2006 (a very special historic day). Follow the link to get another clue.
AP Calculus AB: It's Coming ...

Good luck my jellybean mathematicians.
Ms. Armstrong

Close one!

Whew! Dodged a bullet today. Mrs. Armstrong scared me, made me think the exam would be a walk through hell, but once I got the paper, it was a walk in the park instead. If you read the instructions, you'd know there was a bonus mark just for reading them, but I probably drew the worst sketch of Mrs. Armstrong in the WORLD!
So i thought it'd be hard, but it was easy. I probably beat all of you, so HA!

SLUTTEN!

Today's class - Review for EXAM

Today in class we had a substitute for Ms.Armstrong and it was Mr.Orstrander. He gave us a piece of sheet that showed us on how to review or study for the EXAM on FRIDAY. And 4 or 5 students read each point out loud. When that was done, he handed us a Mid-term Review Math Exam. We went in groups of 3 or 4 and worked on it. And that was mostly it we did in class...im pretty sure...but if not just leave a comment and yeah...=D
