Week 2
Discussion

Create your own linear scenario and problem. Have at least
two parts to your problem for your classmates to solve. Make sure you know the
answer to your own problem!

Here is an example of a linear scenario and problem: A new
car costs $21,000, and the car’s value depreciates linearly to $10,500 in three
years. Explain the process to write a formula that expresses the car’s value,
V, in terms of its age, t, in years. What is the car’s value in 5 years? At
what point is the formula useless? Explain. (Do NOT use this example as your
linear scenario and problem.)

Week 6
Discussion

In the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, upon being presented
with a Th.D. (Doctor of Thinkology), the Scarecrow proudly exclaims, “The
sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to
the square root of the remaining side.” Did the Scarecrow get the
Pythagorean theorem right? If he did not get the theorem correct, specifically
point out and describe the errors in the Scarecrow’s statement.

Find another example of math being used in the movies or on
television. Explain whether or not the math was used correctly.
