Math About Me
by Katelyn O'Connor
Who wants some Pi?
I love the number 3.14. It's one of my favorite numbers. That's because, it's my birthday. My birth-date was 3/14/06. So I was born on Pi-day. I also like to think of my self as a well-rounded person.
Tessellation Station
A tessellation is a pattern. Honey combs are a tessellation. I like working with patterns and tessellations. That's because I want to become a fashion designer when I grow up. Along with being a lawyer, teacher, pop star, ballerina, and a doctor.
Some Tessellations:
You can find patterns everywhere
Rhombicosidodecahedron
I love to say that word. It's fun to say. I love fun words. Some other words that are fun to say are: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, and onomatopoeia. Fun fact: The Rhombicosidodecahedron has 240 faces!!!!!!!
Square Numbers
You have to know your square numbers and square roots to get though daily life. When I grow up I'll want to have a tiled patio. It will be square. How will I want to tile that? Will it be 2x2? 3x3? 4x4? 5x5? What if my patio is 16 sq. ft.? What will I use? But since I know that the square root of 16 is 4, I will use 4x4. Also, you could do 2x?=16 3x?=16 4 x?=16 and 5 x?=16
