College of Contest Math!!
Welcome to College of Contest Math at The Honor Roll School
Today you will partner up and explore 13 math stations. Please follow the directions for each station. You or your partner must take a screen shot or a picture of each activity to prove you have completed the task. (sorry, I will not take your word for it). Do NOT use any paper. You may access any whiteboard app or DOCERI. You have 5 minutes to complete the activity at each station...SPEED AND ACCURACY!
Challenge Accepted?
1) XBOX Xrcise
When you think of college, you have to think of video games...but math? At this station you and your partner must complete the brain challenge and compete with each other. This fun mind and body exercise requires you to think before you act....Watch out! You might break a sweat! Take a picture of your scores.
2) Jenga
You and your partner must answer a problem from this TMSCA Math Test before pulling out a stick. Be careful, you might get the problem right but lose balance! Take a picture before someone calls out "JENGA!"
3) Basketball and Biology
You and your partner must answer a problem from this TMSCA Science Test before shooting the ball. Try your best to make the shot from the designated line...Dunk are allowed (JUST KIDDING) Take a picture like you're LeBron!
4) Deck of Cards and Probability I
Answer this question before making you house of Cards (warning: this is one tough problem) HINT: check you notes in your binder...
Can you find a rule for working out the number of cards you need to build a house of cards of any size? For example, you would need 15 cards to build a 3-tier house, use the formula to find out how many cards you would need for a 100-tier house.
n(3n+1)/2 when n = 3: n(3n+1)/2 = 3(9+1)/2 = 30/2 = 15
So what would it be for n = 100?
5) Rubik's Cube and Surface Area
With your partner, find the Surface Area (cm) for one color tile and one face of the Rubik's Cube. If you have time, try to solve it, you genius!
6) Ramen Noodles and Volume
You and your partner must find the volume of an uncooked Ramen rectangular prism using a ruler (inches). DO NOT EAT...yet.
7) Deck of Cards and Probability II
Easy: What is the probability you will select a red card?
Medium: What is the probability you will select a heart or a 5 card?
Hard: What is the probability you will select a black card, then a red card, then a 5, then a Queen, then a Heart and lastly, a Spades? Heehee.
8) Pizza and Volume
What is the volume of a slice of pizza (1/8 of the whole) pan 1" thick, 16" large pizza? Round your answer to the nearest hundredths.
Yummy!
9) Calculator Terminator:
Hasta La Vista, Baby...5 minutes of Calculator madness. Remember answers must be 2.50 x 10^4 not 25,000 Take a picture of your partner in action. Best player wins!
Enjoy some candy while you and your partner solve this problem!
Imagine that you are a hungry ant trying to get yourself and 99 friends to a picnic. Think about all the different ways 100 ants could march in rows and columns. Organize this information in a table and look for a pattern.
11) 11 Heaven!
Look at these notes... try to understand the pattern with your partner. Practice the 6 problems below. Tap to expand!
12) Kinda Boring, but very helpful!
Watch this Khan Academy Video and take notes on your iPad. Use Doceri or any whiteboard app!
13) :) you're on camera! Isra and Chelsea will record a dance you and your partner MUST do...yes, it is a grade; no, you cannot skip this station... Mathematicians can bust a move! (Don't hurt yourself, lol)

Monday, 9/8: Perfect Square and Arithmetic Sequence
Please watch Mini #5 Part 1 and Part 2
Perfect Squares Practice
Answer: 89
Vocabulary (Copy in Notebook):
Arithmetic Sequence: is a sequence where each term is found by adding or subtracting the same value from one term to the next. We call this value "common sum" or "common difference"
Looking at 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, ......., carefully helps us to make the following observation:
