#36 Coding

Today, you are going to sign in to khanacademy.org with your google account.  We are going to do some coding for the final days of this class.

Coding is a very lucrative career.

Finish any unfinished work...

...especially including any logic problem posts that you have not completed.  Some students are away on a field trip, so get your work done.

If you are finished with everything, then ask me for some blocks and see if you can create these two shapes.

#35 Logic

There are 5 logic problems in this assignment.  You have a choice.  You can choose to do one of the two Einstein puzzles or do the other three puzzles.  You can collaborate with other students in the class, but you must be able to explain your answers.

#34 Figure These Two Out

#33 How Many Handshakes?

1)  You walk into your first college math class and the professor tells you to shake hands and introduce yourself to every other student in the classroom.  Every student shakes hands with every other student exactly once.  How many handshakes were there (there are 10 students in class)?

2)  After everyone finishes shaking hands an eleventh student walks in to class.  How many handshakes will there be (total) after he is done shaking hands?

3)  What would be the total if there were 20 students in the class?

The following illustration is your hint as to how to figure out these three answers.  Post your three answers on your blog.  Title the post "#33 How Many Handshakes."

You may collaborate with your fellow classmates, but you must be able to explain your answers.

#32 Survey

Today's easy blog assignment is to complete two surveys.  The following survey and one on this site.  Title the blog post "#32 Survey."  For each of the 16 questions you are going to answer each with a value from 1 to 5.  Then take the second survey and screen capture your results (apple/shift/4).  Insert that results picture after the 16 values.

1 = Statement does not describe you at all
2 = Statement describes you very little
3 = Statement describes you somewhat
4 = Statement describes you pretty well
5 = Statement describes you exactly
