I’ve skipped to much school, well not necessarily skipped but have been sick. I had strep throat for 2 weeks. Now i get this project mailed to me, sleep all day, and didn't do it. I just need one more strategy that explains this:
How to get the answer to this with these requirements:
There are 3 different pumpkins, 2 different hats, and 2 different accessories.
Figure out how many characters you can make using one pumpkin, one hat, and one accessory.
To get a `S’ on all the boxes, (an S is like a A) You must have these requirements!
Solves the Words problem accurately (i know the answer is 12, so that's good)
Identifies, selects and uses more than one appropriate strategy (i got one down)
Explains a multi-step solution using a minimum of 5 sentences (i got one strategy and it works, i need one more)
Explains thinking to adults/peers using:
5 highlighted math terms (like saying multiplied, a number out in words, equals, ect.)
Labeled graph(s), picture(s), and/or diagram(s) (i have that handled)
numbers
I know its easy but i cant think of a different strategy than what ive got…
Please don't say “Well you shouldnt have slept all day lazy!” or any other stuff, it was because of my medication. I usually sleep almost all day. Please help, thanks
Another strategy would be to list and count th3e possible arrangements.
P1 H1 A1
P2 H1 A1
P3 H1 A1
P1 H2 A1
P2 H2 A1
P3 H2 A1
P1
etc. I accidentally clicked "send" too soon. The table ends with
P1 H1 A2
P2 H1 A2
P3 H1 A2
P1 H2 A2
P2 H2 A2
P3 H2 A2
There are no other possible combinations.
To solve this problem, you have three pumpkins, two hats, and two accessories. To find out how many characters you can make using one of each, you can use a systematic listing strategy.
Start by listing all the pumpkins: P1, P2, and P3. Then, take P1 and pair it with the first hat, H1, and the first accessory, A1, to get the first character combination, C1 (P1, H1, A1).
Next, keep the same pumpkin (P1) but pair it with the second hat, H2, and the first accessory, A1, to get the second combination, C2 (P1, H2, A1).
Now, keep the same pumpkin (P1) but pair it with the first hat, H1, and the second accessory, A2, to get the third combination, C3 (P1, H1, A2).
Repeat the same process for the two remaining pumpkins, P2 and P3, creating C4 (P2, H1, A1), C5 (P2, H2, A1), C6 (P2, H1, A2), C7 (P3, H1, A1), C8 (P3, H2, A1), and C9 (P3, H1, A2).
Count the total number of character combinations, which is 9.
Finally, explain your thinking using the highlighted math terms:
- Systematic listing strategy: This is a methodical approach where each possibility is considered systematically.
- Combination: Each character is a combination of one pumpkin, one hat, and one accessory.
- Pairing: Pairing refers to combining two elements together, such as a pumpkin with a hat or accessory.
- Total: The total number of character combinations is obtained by counting all the possibilities.
You can also create a labeled diagram or graph to visually represent the combinations, with the pumpkins (P1, P2, P3) at the top, the hats (H1, H2) on the left, and the accessories (A1, A2) on the right, creating a grid. Fill in each cell with the corresponding character combination.
By following this multi-step strategy and providing a thorough explanation, you will meet the requirements of the project and demonstrate your understanding of the problem.
