first obstacle with this course was to admit to myself that I had created my own fear of math. I had fully produced what I now view to be a huge challenge. The inevitable had finally arrived. I had postponed my taking this math class for close to ten years. I was now at age 29 sitting in a math class that I had avoided through out my collegial career. So here I was‚ struggling from the beginning‚ prior to a math problem even being placed on the board. I was struggling with the bigger problem of fear

IA Task I Introduction and purpose of task: The purpose of this task is to investigate the positions of points in intersecting circles and to discover the various relationships between said circles. Circle C1 has center O and radius r. Circle C2 has center P and radius OP. Let A be one of the points of intersection of C1 and C2. Circle C3 has center A and radius r (therefore circles C1 and C3 are the same size). The point P’ (written P prime) is the intersection of C3 with OP. This is shown in

Treasure Hunt: Finding the Values of Right Angle Triangles This final weeks course asks us to find a treasure with two pieces of a map. Now this may not be a common use of the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the distances for a right angled triangle but it is a fun exercise to find the values of the right angle triangle. Buried treasure: Ahmed has half of a treasure map‚which indicates that the treasure is buried in the desert 2x + 6 paces from Castle Rock. Vanessa has the other half of the map
