The Math Challenge Group did competition problems related to the Pythagorean theorem and areas of similar shapes today. The homework assignment is to write an explanation for the solution of the Pepperoni Pizza Problem (AMC8 #10) and to do at least one other problem on the handout. Quantities should be labeled on the explanation. For example, the explanation might include "The radius of the pizza is 6"." Homework should be turned in to Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Craig by next Friday.
The Purple Comet Math Competition is coming up at the beginning of April. Students interested in being on a competition team should contact me within the next week or two.
