Math Project My Summer Road Trip Book<br />
It’s time to plan your summer vacation! Use the next few pages to decide your<br />
destination, vehicle, and hotel. You will have a budget of $900. Be sure to spend wisely so<br />
that you will have money left over in case of emergencies!<br />
<br />
Choosing a Destination <br />
Distance from Chicago<br />
790.8 miles to New York City<br />
926.1 miles to New Orleans<br />
759.19 miles to Philadelphia<br />
799.99 miles to Richmond<br />
1,156.07 miles to Orlando<br />
989.33 miles to Boston<br />
297.21 miles to St. Louis<br />
697.03 miles to Washington D.C.<br />
<br />
1. Which city is the furthest distance from Chicago?<br />
2. Which city is the closest to Chicago?<br />
3. How much farther from Chicago is Richmond than St. Louis?<br />
4. How much farther from Chicago is New Orleans<br />
than NYC?<br />
5. How much farther from Chicago is Orlando than<br />
Boston?<br />
6. ABOUT how far is Washington D.C. from<br />
Chicago?<br />
7. ABOUT how far is Philadelphia from Chicago?<br />
8. ABOUT how much farther from Chicago is<br />
Richmond than Philadelphia?<br />
<br />
Order the cities by distance (Nearest to Farthest) from Chicago<br />
<br />
Round each city’s distance from Chicago to the nearest mile.<br />
<br />
New York City<br />
New Orleans<br />
Orlando<br />
Boston<br />
Philadelphia<br />
Richmond<br />
St. Louis<br />
Washington D.C<br />
<br />
Thinking about Gas<br />
If the national Average for gas per gallon in the United States is cur-<br />
rently $3.49, how much will you be spending on gas for your trip?<br />
Choosing your Vehicle Car Mileage Weigh your Options<br />
Do the Math to find out how much you would spend on gas to your two top destination choices.<br />
<br />
Toyota Prius 48miles per gallon<br />
Jeep Wrangler 21 miles per gallon<br />
Honda CRV 31 miles per gallon<br />
<br />
How do calculate the cost? <br />
Divide the total distance in miles by your car’s miles<br />
per gallon to find out how many gallons of gas you will<br />
need for your trip. Then, multiply that number by the<br />
average cost of a gallon of gas. Don’t forget to<br />
multiply by two for a round trip.<br />
<br />
How many hours are you willing to drive per day? How much ground will you cover?<br />
Safe Speed—60 MPH<br />

Writing Addition and Subtraction Expressions</h4>
Expressions can be modeled using a bar diagram like the one below. This example shows the number of biographies (x) currently in our classroom library and the increase of 13 new biographies from the school book fair. This expression x + 13 represents the total number of biographies the library has now. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This expression can also be written as 13 + x to represent this situation. One way to test the equivalency of the expressions is to substitute values for x and see if the sum of both equations are still the same. If x = 2, x+ 13 = 13+ x, 2 + 13 = 13 + 2, If x= -1 -1 + 13 = 13 + -1</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a result of the commutative property of addition these expressions are also proven equivalent.</div>

Write my own algebraic expression...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Start with an <a href="http://teams.lacoe.edu/documentation/classrooms/amy/algebra/5-6/activities/functionmachine/functionmachine5_6.html">input</a> such as "12" (miles from home to downtown) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Add in a variable such as "d" (distance traveled) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Put it together into a situation like I want to get downtown but have already traveled d miles. How far do I still have to go?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Define your variable(s) D= distance traveled. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Finally, Write the expression 12 - d</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now test out your algebraic expression.... If d= 6.5 how far is the distance from downtown?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
12- d Substitute in 6.5 for d, 12-6.5= 5 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If d= 6.5, I have to go only 5 more miles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sample Practice Questions about writing expressions. Write an algebraic expression to represent each of the following situations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>The height (h) increased by 6 inches. </li>
<li>43 more than (t); t= time</li>
<li>Carrie sold 50 bags of popcorn today. Carrie sold (p) fewer bags than Terry. </li>
<li>Seven less than a number (n)</li>

<h3>
Graphing Stories</h3>
<div>
Does a graph always begin at the origin? <br />
<br />
What is the steepest part of the graph where it shows the greatest increase?<br />
<br />
We have been learning from graphing videos and answering some of these questions.<br />
<br />
Here is some graphing vocabulary to help springboard our discussions. <br />
y-intercept- the point on a graph where the line crosses the y-axis. <br />
slope- a measure of the steepness of a line. (Change in 2 y values divided by Change in the 2 matching x values)<br />
<br />

What types of graphs do you like to create? One of my favorite parts of Math is graphing and finding patterns in problems. Graphs and Charts are found in many parts of our every day life. </h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Pie graphs and bar graphs that are used to compare things like people's opinions for example. Line Graphs and scatter plots are a type of graph that shows the relationship between two quantities or show can show changes over time. The pattern on a line graph shows an increase (line goes upward) or a decrease (line goes downward). </span></h4>

<h4>
<u>Steps to make a table of ordered pairs</u></h4>
a. Choose values for x that include both positive and negative numbers.<br />
b. Substitute the value for x into the equation.<br />
c. Use order of operations to solve the equation and find a value for y. <br />
Example x = -1 y = 2x + 3<br />
y = 2(-1) + 3 Substitute -1 for x<br />
y = -2 + 3 Then multiply 1 * -2<br />
y = 1 Add -2 + 3<br />
2. Use a coordinate grid to plot the ordered pairs in the table.<br />
Example: Ordered pairs: (-1,1), (0,3), (1,5), and (2, 7)<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>How do I graph an Inequality?</b></span><br />
<br />
Inequalities have an inequality symbol like<b> <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;"><,
>,</span></span></b><span style="font-size: large;"> ,<b>≥,</b></span> or<b> <span style="font-size: large;">≤ </span> </b>instead of an equal (=) sign.<br />
1. Inequalities like y<span style="font-size: large;"> ≤ </span> 2x +3 are graphed by making a table of values, the same as we did when there was an equal sign.<br />
2. The <b><u>points </u></b>are plotted on a coordinate plane in the same way that the equation y = 2x +3 was done.<br />
3. Here's the difference, the<u><b> line</b></u> that you draw to show the pattern of the points will be solid since the it is <span style="font-size: large;">≤</span> (less than or equal to), and you will color in <b><u>underneath the line</u></b> to show all the possible solutions to the inequality y <span style="font-size: large;">≤ </span>2x +3.<br />

Candy comes in many different packages, and often has a variety of kinds. For example, a typical box of chocolates has fruit, cream, and nut fillings. The different types of chocolate can be quantified using these categories. <br />
<br />
Type Quantity Fraction<br />
Fruit 6 6/22<br />
<br />
Cream 4 4/22<br />
<br />
Nuts 12 12/22<br />
<br />
Total 22 22/22<br />
<br />
<a href="http://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/6131499/il_570xN.302228803.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/6131499/il_570xN.302228803.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a><br />
Each of type can be described as a part of the whole box. In the chart above the amount of candies that have either fruit or cream filling would be 10/22 or 5/11 of the chocolates. <br />
<br />
If a candy company decided that it wanted to increase the amount of fruit and creams so it was 8/11 to satisfy its customers what would be the number of nuts filled candies in the box?<br />

The Harold Washington Library is in the shape of a rectangular prism for the

The surface area of is the total area of all the faces. Surface area is measured in square units (cm²)
because like area it is the amount of material that covers a flat surface and
can be put into square units of measure.
The other measurement that I want to show is the volume which is the
space inside the figure. Volume is
measured in cubic units (cm³) because it is measuring the units inside of a 3
dimensional figure. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I found the surface area of the rectangular prism by
measuring the area of the 6 faces of the prism.
I knew there were 6 faces from the net drawing of a rectangular prism. First I knew the building was 50 ft. length, 25 ft. width, and 30 ft. height and put them into the equation. SA= 2 (lxw) + 2(lxh) + 2(wxh). I multiplied inside parentheses first. For example, 50x25=1,250. Then I knew that the 2 on the outside meant to multiply since there was a number next to a parentheses. So I multiplied 2 times 1,250 to get 2,500 using mental math. I multiplied by two because I knew the top and the bottom of the prism were the same size. The front and back
sides were each 750 square feet, or 25 times 30, and the top and bottom were
each 1,250 which was found by multiplying 50 by 25. Then I doubled the front to find the total
area of the front and back sides since they were both 25 by 30. 1500 times 2
equaled 3,000. The
combined surface area was found by adding all these areas together 2,500 +
3,000 + 1,500 was 7,000 square feet. I checked my answer using a calculator and found the surface area of the rectangular prism would be 7,000 square feet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Volume of a rectangular prism= Length x Width x Height</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Volume = 50 x 25 x 30 =
37,500 cubic feet </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The volume of the figure was found by using an
equation. I knew that the base of the figure
was 50 by 25 feet. So, I multiplied 50
times 25 to get 1,250 square feet. The
height of the rectangular prism was 30 feet, so I multiplied the base times the
height to find out how much volume spans up the height of the prism. I found that 1,250 times 30 was 37,500 cubic
feet. The volume of the rectangular
prism is 37,500 cubic feet. </div>

Janice went to Jewel Food Store and bought a box of Orange Popsicle for $3.30. The tax rate for groceries was 4%. How much would 4 boxes of Orange Popsicles cost? (Include tax)<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Step 1: $3.30 X 4 boxes = $13.20</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Step 2: $13.20 X 1.04 (4% tax) = 13.728 <span style="color: red;">(1.04 = 1 + .04 (1 to get the cost, and .04 for 4/100 tax)</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The total with tax would be $13.73 (Rounded to the nearest cent)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Assignment: Write your own tax problem. Include the cost of the product. Find out how much the item would cost after a 4% tax is included. </div>

The Training Plan below is a way to help people prepare for a big event. This plan also be used for finishing a book, writing a story, or a big project. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://whatreallycounts.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/miles4.gif?w=500" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="http://whatreallycounts.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/miles4.gif?w=500" width="320" /></a></div>
The training plan uses something called <a href="http://www.runnersworld.com/running-tips/10-percent-rule">The 10 Percent Rule</a>. This rules says you should increase your current activity level by 10 percent per week so that you don't over train (during running)<br />
<br />
For example, if you were wanting to do a 20 mile run by the end of the summer, and currently you are running around 10 miles per week, would this be possible? Let's say that the end of the summer was 7 weeks away. First, you might prepare by making a Table of how many miles you'll be running each week.<br />
<h4>
Table</h4>
Weeks Equation Miles Ran <br />
1 10*1.1 11 <br />
2 11*1.1 12.1<br />
3 12.1*1.1 13.3<br />
4 13.3*1.1 14.63<br />
5 14.63*1.1 16.093<br />
6 16.093*1.1 17.7<br />
7 17.7*1.1 19.47<br />
x 10*1.1^x <br />
<br />
In the table you can see that each week you increase the Miles Ran by 10%. The equation uses 10% written as a decimal 0.10. Beginning with week 1 you find what is 10% more than 10 miles? A shortcut in using percents, when multiplying by 1 you get the same number so instead of multiplying times 0.10 we can switch it to 1 + 0.10 or 1.10.<br />
The equation column shows 10*1.10= 11, So in week 1 you plan to run 11 miles. Then, in week 2 you start with 11 and find out what 10% more is by doing 11*1.10=12.1 miles. When doing the math you probably noticed that you multiply the total for the week by 1.10. You could keep going with this pattern through week 7 to find the total number of miles by week 7.<br />
<br />
<b>Another strategy</b> you may have already thought of is Using an Equation involving exponents. The exponents can help you find out if it is possible to reach the goal by a certain number of weeks. Let's say 6 weeks? <br />
Since you are using an equation you use the starting distance which was 10 miles and the percent increase 1.10, the number of weeks is the exponent function in the equation. Starting distance times 1.1 ^ x weeks<br />
10 miles*1.1^6 weeks = 17.712 miles. (Notice this is close to the value in the table, but not exactly)<br />
10 miles*1.1^7 weeks= 19.47 miles<br />
After 7 weeks you are still slightly less than the 20 mile goal at 19.47 miles. However, if you round up to the nearest tenth of a mile, you're at 19.5 miles. You could <b>Check your Answer</b> by filling in the other values in the table above. <br />
<br />
This plan of increasing by a percentage each week can be used for other projects. Right now you're writing 3.5 pages a week, but want to finish a young author's project that is going to be 25 pages long in 4 weeks. If you increase your rate by 10% each week, will you finish by the deadline?<br />
Week Pages per week<br />
Starting 3.5<br />
1 3.5*1.1 3.85<br />
2 3.85*1.1 4.235<br />
3 4.235*1.1 4.6585<br />
4 4.6585*1.1 5.124<br />
Total Pages written 21.4 pages written<br />
