What's In a Pattern

Today you have two tasks.

1. You are going to your web page and downloading your POW. Please read the instructions and then send your answers to our class e-mail. (mathclasshonors@yahoo.com) Remember you will have to use your e-mail account. I will post your responses on the web page in a power point so you can see your work and others work.

Right click here and open your web page in a new page or new tab.


2. Visit the wiki and add to your page "Two Stage Equations." Last week gave you just enough time to get logged in and started. Please complete your posts as I will be grading your work over the three day weekend. (Remember the Wiki link is on the Home Page. It is on the left side navigation bar.)

Have fun.
Ms. L.

Thought Questions
1. Which color of squares is growing at the slowest rate? At the fastest rate? Graph the 3 formulas to get a picture of the growth of all three. Answer: Red is going the slowest. Blue is the fastest
2. How many squares of each color will be in the 8th stage of the design? Answer: Blue will be 36 squares. Red will 542 red squares. Green will be 670 squares.
3. Will the design use 42 blue squares in any stage? Will it use 102 red squares? Will it ever use 830 squares in all? If so, state the stage number for each answer.

1)
The slowest is blue.
The fastest is green

2) 698

3)none of them will ever happen



Stage No. 0 1 2 3 4 n
No. Blue 0 6 10
14
18
adds 4

No. Red 0
2
8
18
32 add 2 then multiply by 2
No. Green 0
4
12
24
48
you double the number
Total No. 0
12
30
56
90
you add 2 to each axis
