A math problem you've never seen before! Can you solve it?
HINT #1 & 2 are Below!
Math The World is dedicated to bringing real world math problems into the classroom and answering the age old question “when will I ever use this?”
This video poses the question “what were these kids thinking when they put in construction bids of $6.67 and $11.11?” We'll drops hints in future weeks by adding them to this description and post an answer video explaining what we believe Doug's kids were thinking when they gave these answers.
HINT #1: 10%
HINT #2: Tithing
LINK TO SOLUTION: • Sequences, Series, and Zeno's Paradox: Ach...
We use unique algebra context topics, geometry context topics, trigonometry context topics, and calculus context topics. We go beyond context problems and use a technique called mathematical modeling to find solutions to real world questions and real world problems. These videos are great for students who plan to enter technical fields that require real world problem solving, and can be a great resource for teachers looking for ways to bring real world contexts into their classroom.
