Computer Lab

Today, in Computer Lab, we played academic games about 3-D and 2-D shapes. These can come in handy in many different situations. First, architects, who design houses and other buildlings, use shapes in their plans of how to build whatever they want to build. Second, if someone ever needed to fold shapes out of paper for an outside of the box project, as Room 14 often does, nets are easy to draw and fold, if they knew what they were doing. Finally, people who use 3-D printers, or are enrolled in a drafting class, need to know about geometrical shapes to succeed. There are many uses for shape knowledge in life, but that isn't even close to the amount we use math in our daily lives.

Computer Lab

Today in Computer Lab we did different activities about handling data. The first game was a medival setting which taught data processing. The second was a Pokemon type activity where the object was to find the mean, median, mode, and range of Bamzook stats. The third was also Bamzook themed, but dealt with probability. If we finished that we could go to non-themed activites dealing in the same subject.
