Math man

We bet you’ve spent hours guiding Pac Man around the screen on your computer or at your local arcade, but have you ever considered using Pac Man to help teach math? The classic arcade game actually lends itself well to concepts related to graphing, geometry, coding, strategic thinking, and even basic math skills.Play Math ManOne of the easiest ways to use Pac Man to teach math is to have students play a few levels of Math Pac Man. This version of the popular game contains the same style of game board and the iconic ghosts. However, in this version, each ghost is assigned a number. Players are shown an equation and must get Pac Man to eat the ghost that contains the solution to the equation. If Pac Man eats the wrong ghost, students can say goodbye to one of their lives.Make a Pac Man MazeWorld’s Biggest Pac Man offers students the unique opportunity to create their own mazes. As students add walls, empty spaces, and power pellets, they must think about the concepts of geometry. They must also use strategic thinking to understand what elements will make the maze difficult while still allowing players to experience victory at the end. Prefer to work offline? Students can sketch out their own Pac Man mazes on graph paper, just like the creator of Pac Man did. You can challenge students to build words or images into the maze as well, such as when Google created a version of Pac Man around its name.Create Pac Man InequalitiesIf you look at the shape of a Pac Man character, you can see how it fits nicely into a lesson about inequalities. Have students use the shape of a Pac Man character to represent the greater than and less than signs in an inequality. Students

More small dogs than large dogs, that isn't right.The teacher who gave the question later told Popsugar, "The district worded it wrong." But as it stands, the answer is 42.5: 49 - 36 = 13, 13 / 2 = 6.5, and 36 + 6.5 = 42.5. Apparently, half of a dog competed at the dog show. People couldn't agree on the answer to a question about buying and selling horses. How much money did he make? PeerieBreeks Mumsnet user PeerieBreeks shared the riddle on the parenting site, where it racked up nearly 500 comments with other users debating the answer.Here's the question: "A man buys a horse for $60. He sells the horse for $70. He then buys the horse back for $80. And he sells the horse again for $90. In the end, how much money did the man make or lose? Or did he break even?"Answers in the Mumsnet thread ranged from making $10, $20, and $30 to breaking even. So what's the solution?What seems to be throwing people off is the fact that the man sells the horse for $70 and then buys it back for $80, making it look like he spent $10 more. But the correct way to solve the problem is to think of the two transactions as separate: -60 + 70 = 10 and -80 + 90 = 10.The man makes $10 with each sale, therefore he earns a total of $20. A math problem meant for 8-year-olds went viral after parents couldn't solve it. This question was too hard for parents. MindYourDecisions/YouTube Mumsnet user lucysmam turned to the internet for help with her daughter's math assignment.The problem reads as follows:"On the coast there are three lighthouses.The first light shines for 3 seconds, then is off for 3 seconds.The second light shines for 4 seconds, then is off for 4 seconds.The third light shines for 5 seconds, then is off for 5 seconds.All three lights have just come on together.1) When is the first time all three lights will be off at the same time?2) When is the next time all three lights will come on together at the same moment?"Thankfully, YouTube math whiz Presh Talwalkar offered an explanation on his channel, MindYourDecisions.According to Talwalkar, the easiest way to answer the first question about when the lights will all be off is to map out the intervals for each lighthouse and see where their "off" sections overlap. The answer: after five seconds, when the third light has just turned off and the first and second lights are still off.To determine when all of the lights will come on together, you need to find the smallest common multiple of the intervals when the lights will be on. The answer to that question is that the lighthouses will all come on together at 120 seconds, or two minutes.For a more detailed explanation, click here.
