Math Fun //Math trivia?
Can you find:
1. an object with a repeating pattern.
2. a sport that uses math and describe how the math is used, other than scorekeeping and timing.
3. advertisement using probability.
4. piece of wallpaper or wrapping paper that uses some type of transformation (reflection, rotation, translation, dilation)
5. someone saying they use math on his or her job.
6. a picture or any type of representation of an inequality.
7.an item related to factoring and explain the relationship.

I’ll do my best…

1. Pretty toilet paper

2. Pool / Snooker – It uses geometry

3. Showing certain adverts at certain times of the day like on tv because at those times the wanted audience is more likely to be watching.

4. Squared wallpaper – many lines of reflection

5. A banker uses maths…

6. If you made a bet with someone… like say ‘I bet the train will be here in under 5 minutes’… it could be represented by an inequality… in this case ‘t < 5 minutes’ where t represents time.

8. How about security on the internet where the use of mutiplying two really big prime numbers is used to protect peoples’ credit card numbers… I know it’s not an item but it’s the best I could do.

Hope that helps!

    Just naming the question Math Fun / Math Trivia does not disguise the fact that you are trying to get someone else to do your homework!
