Favorite Math Problem Reflection
Math plays a important role in a person's life. When problems are presented, students can practice through skills that they already learned. Through problems and activities, students can gather the meaning of what math is about. Also go into a deeper meaning than what is presented in front of them. Students can apply all of these lessons through their education and everyday lives. Students can be motivated through problem-solving because it develops their skills and have a better understanding in math.
Favorite Math Problem: Math Club Pizza Party Superhero!!!
- You are walking down a 6-foot-wide hallway in Aquinas toward the Math Office. The walls on either side are perpendicular to the floor. You stop walking, surprised to see your way blocked by 2 maintenance ladders. One of the ladders is 10 feet long, and the other is 12 feet long. Each ladder is propped up from a corner to the opposite wall, forming an X shape. All four feet of each ladder are firmly touching either the corner or the wall.
- You are four and a half feet tall, and you cannot crouch beneath the ladders because you are precariously balancing all of the pizza boxes needed for the Math Club Pizza Party. (The stack does not reach above your chin.) Can you walk beneath the ladders' meeting point to get the pizzas to the Math Office and save dozens of math majors from starvation?
