1. Three things that I significantly learned from the video clip

 I am surrounded by math. Wherever or what place I will go to there always
be math that surrounds me.
 Numbers can be found in such way that one person thinks about how
numbers will help them in their lives.
 Human mind can develop various patterns and numbers that can
recognize, classify and understand easily.

2. Three things that are still unclear to me

 The numerology is still unclear to me because it can be the easiest and
consequently the most dangerous method on finding patterns.
 The definition of rate of change is still indistinct to me.
 How can numbers have a tiny part in mathematics? Because for me it
used every time.

3. I used to think that

Mathematics is just numbers. But from reading the article of Ian Stewart,
there is a world of mathematics from numbers to patterns and any forms
of equations and how it will used by a person.

4. Three questions that I want to ask about the video clips

 What is the numbers that came from the shell?
 Where does patterns came from?
 How patterns and number help person in their daily lives?

1. Three things that I significantly learned from the video clip

 The mathematics that we learn from school doesn’t quite do the field of
mathematics justice.
 The origin of mathematics lies on counting. Counting is not just a human
trait.
 The modern mathematics can be broadly broken down into two areas, the
pure mathematics and applied math’s when you develop mathematics to
help solve some real-world problem.
2. Three things that are still unclear to me
 Algebra contains the rules of how to manipulate questions
 Number theory studies the features of everything.
 Combinatorics looks at the properties of certain structures.
3. I used to think that
Mathematics is just numbers that always learn in school. But watching this
video clips, it shows that the mathematics has a lot of structure to be
called itself math.
4. Three questions that I want to ask about the video clips
 How can the map of mathematics help the people watching?
 What makes the map of mathematics useful?
 What will the outcome of the person after watching the clips?

1. Three things that I significantly learned from the video clip

 The Mandelbrot Set. No matter how much the Mandelbrot set is
magnified, infinite patterns emerge
 Colors in Fractals. The colors do not represent movement but show the
different areas of calculation.
 Fractal Geometry in Space. Observing space through a telescope
reveals fractal-like structures.
2. Three things that are still unclear to me
 The application of fractal geometry is a better description of the
physical world.
 The Barnsley’s Collage Theorem
 The Data Compression and Expansion.
3. I used to think that
A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns
that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating
a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop.
4. Three questions that I want to ask about the video clips
 What makes fractal useful?
 How can the discover of fractal make change in the world?
 How the video benefit the person who is watching?

Mathematical Perspective in Dancing

Dance and other motor expressions have numerical connections of their

own, displayed by powerful conditions and the conduct of strong articles in
space. Think about the illustrative jumps made by artists as they appear to fly
over the stage and interruption in midair, or the connections between artists as
they cross the stage, from couples dancing to hip-bounce.

Our human bodies are the methods by which we experience move and
epitomized arithmetic, and our bodies, by and large and especially, have certain
affordances and impediments. Elbows, knees, hips, wrists and lower legs just
twist in specific ways and through certain rakish bends. Appendages, feet,
fingers are of a specific size that can't be made greater or littler. Our quality,
weight, adaptability and vitality can change with preparing, however there are
constraints on how quick an individual can move, how high one can hop and how
far one can twist. Particularities as far as unique capacities, wounds or
handicaps, age, tallness, etc make a scope of human development potential
outcomes, yet this range is limited notwithstanding for the competitors and stunt-
devils among us.

b. 1, 3, 6, 10 ,15, 21
2. What type of reasoning did you apply in 1a and 1b?
The type of reasoning I applied in 1a and 1b is inductive reasoning because the
statement is true because specific cases is true.
3. Tell whether the mathematical statement is True or False. If false, provide a
counterexample. Assume x is any real number.
a. If x>0 then 1/x > 0 (TRUE)
b. The multiplicative inverse 1/x always exists. (TRUE)
c. X2 is always positive. (TRUE)

2. Find the digit that is 50 places to the right of the decimal point in the decimal
representation of the rational number.
Example: Inputting a value for rational number.
Let 6/11 be the rational number.
Modified Question (with values): Find the digit that is 50 places to the right of the
decimal point in the decimal representation of the rational number 6/11.
Use the 4 steps:
I. Understand the problem.
II. Devise a plan.
III. Carry out the plan.
IV. Look back.

Solution:
6
= 0.54545454 …
11
The digit that is 4, since every even-numbered digit, to the right of the decimal
point is 4, thus 50th places which is an even digit will also be 4.

3. A coffee shop is giving away a signature annual planner. In the mechanics,

each customer has to collect 24 stickers to avail of the said planner, and
costumers can share stickers. At the end of the promo period, Tito had the most
number of stickers, more than enough to get the planner. Unfortunately, Vic and
Joey did not have enough. This is what they did: First, Tito gave Vic and Joey as
many stickers as each had; after this, Vic gave Tito and Joey as many sticker as
they had; and in turn, Joey gave Tito and Vic as many stickers as they had. At
the end, each of the three friends had exactly enough stickers to get a planner.
How many stickers did each person have at the start?
Use the 4 steps:
I. Understand the problem.
II. Devise a plan.
III. Carry out the plan.
IV. Look back.

4. Iza can earn 7800 pesos for doing 3 hours of office work and 2 hours of field
work. However, she gets 8,200 pesos if she works two hours in the office and 3
hours in the field. What is the rate per hour of Iza for doing the office work and for
doing the field work?
Use the 4 steps:
I. Understand the problem.
II. Devise a plan.
III. Carry out the plan.
IV. Look back.
 3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 7800 (𝐸𝑄 1)
2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 8200 (𝐸𝑄 2)
3 (3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 7800)
−2 (2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 8200)
9𝑥 + 6𝑦 = 23400
−4𝑥 − 6𝑦 = −16400
5𝑥 7000
=
5 5
𝑥 = 1400
3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 7800
3 (1400) + 2𝑦 = 7800
4200 + 2𝑦 = 7800
2𝑦 = 7800 − 4200
2𝑦 3600
=
2 2
𝑦 = 1800
Checking:
3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 7800
3 (1400) + 2(1800) = 7800
7800 = 7800
2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 8200
2(1400) + 3(1800) = 8200
8200 = 8200
Rate per hour of Iza for doing the office work: 1400 pesos
Rate per hour of Iza for doing the field work: 1800 pesos
