Directions:

1. In your assigned groups of 4, research and identify real-life situations where the Pythagorean Theorem and Newton’s second law can be applied.

2. Create a presentation (using slides, posters, videos, etc.) using mathematical vocabulary from this week’s unit, to explain the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem and how it is relevant in the given scenario. Include a brief explanation of how Newton’s second law is relevant to the given scenario.

3. Present your findings to the class, highlighting the connections between mathematics and science.

Title: Investigating Patterns in Historical Data

Directions:

1. Utilize the website, Available Datasets from the National Archives | National Archives and analyze a historical data set of your choice. Identify patterns or trends that can be represented mathematically, utilizing the skills learned in this week’s chapter. Your assignment requires a 250-word minimum, and a work cited page. Please include a visual representation (graphs, charts, infographics) to showcase the relationships between historical events and mathematical concepts. Lastly, discuss the significance of mathematics in understanding historical events.

Collaborative Writing Project: Math in Literature

Directions:

1. Choose a piece of literature (poem, short story, novel) that contains mathematical references or themes.

2. From your chosen literature piece, analyze and identify the mathematical concepts present in at least 75 words.

3. Write a creative piece (poem, short story, script) incorporating the mathematical concepts from the chosen literature piece. Include three connections between math and literature.

4. Submit your chosen literature piece and 75-word response to the discussion board. Prepare to present your creative piece to the class.
