We came up with the idea of hunting a duck for our applet. First, we needed to define our bullet's path and then our duck path. For the bullet's path, we used the equations y=-(16)t^2 +v(sin)(alpha)t+s and x=v(cos(alpha))t. For the duck's path, we used the equation x=dv(cos(gama))t+d. After that, we had to learn how to change the angle of the bullet and duck. We did this by making sliders, which changes/controlled the angle of the lines. We then learned when the lines of the bullet and duck crossed within so many units of each other the duck would be shot down. Then, we came across the challenge solving aT=bT+c. Once we overcame this challenge, we started to find our variables such as distance of the duck, gun velocity, starting height of the gun, and the duck velocity. We fine tuned it, and we were finished.
We learned a lot by this project. It really helped us see the math behind just shooting a duck. We thought it would be a lot easier. Turns out, it wasn't. It really made us think, dig deep in our brains. We just had to apply things we did know to things we didn't know, and that was extremely hard, but we learned and now can really see whats the math, what's the logic, etc.
Overall, it was a fun yet hard project to do. We loved it.

Geogebra Applet
What we did was create a geogebra applet about a artillery shell hitting a castle. We created several sliders on Geogebra. One for time(t0), one for distance to the castle(d), height of the castle compared to the missile launcher(h), another one for firing velocity(v), and the final one was for the initial angle of the missile lancher(alpha). Then to get the projectile moving we input the equation h=-16*t0^2+v*cos(alpha)+s. Then to make our target we made a point across from point B. Then to show our mushroom cloud, we put the distance formula as our condition to make our mushroom cloud appear. Then to make our projectile stop, we used the rate times time equals distance. After we were all done with that, we added a few pictures to make it look better. Which made a functional geogebra applet.

Kathryn, Odi, and Ravneet's Project
For our project Ravneet, Odi and I decided to make an EVT test. At first we thought we could get this done quickly, but we found out that making a test was going to be much harder than we expected. First we had to come up with fifteen problems covering different standards in algebra. Instead of plugging in numbers though we had to represent the numbers with letters (For example ax+by=c instead of 3x+4y=12). We then had to define our variables and make our equations, wrong, and correct answers. If we did all of this correctly we could press a button to the side of our problem, the variables of my problem would then change, but the principal would still be the same (believe me this was harder than it sounds). The hardest part of making the test was finding the correct answer to our problems while in letter form. If we messed up on this then our entire problem would be wrong. The process of making and writing the problems was a little time consuming but after repeating the steps we began to get the hang of it and pick up the test. Now we have a good handle on making EVT tests. Once we got going making the test began to be a lot of fun.
Baseball Applet:Brandon M.,Marco M.,Lazaro V.
The first thing we did for our applet was to figure out some solid math so when we got to designing the applet, it would be faster and easier to create. The two equations we had for the solid math were X=(cos(a)*v)*t and y=-16t^2+sin(a)*v+s(3.5). Then we had to get values that were reasonable for baseball. Our values were 120ft/s-125ft/s for the ball speed, 310ft -450f for the fence distance, 3ft-37ft for the fence height, and 0-90 degrees for the ball trajectory. WE plugged in our two solid math equations and got two perpendicular lines thats intersection would represent our ball. Then we made our fence that the ball would have to go over. When we made the fence, we had to be sure that it would change as we changed the variables. once we had the fence, we had to make the ball stop at the x-axis. For that we had a long equation that we got from plugging in the a,b, and c values from our y equation(y=-16t^2+sin(a)*v+s(3.5)) in to the quadratic formula. We then put in images to represent our ball and batter. We then wanted the ball to stop at the fence, so we put in the equation-t=d/cos(a)*v. Finally we perfected our applet and all its values and finished our Baseball Applet.
David, Jett, and Sartaj Papa Smurf Project
Here is a project we did for math. Our project was if we could get a smurf to land on a mattress. These are the steps that we took to make this project happen.
Step 1- Define Sliders
We created our sliders for cannon angle, mattress height, mattress distance, time, smurf speed. Since our equations had to be universal instead of using numbers we used variables. An example of our time slider or our abbreviation "t0" is {t0 (-sin(angle) velocity - sqrt((sin(angle) velocity)² - 64 (height + 30))) / -32}
Step 2- Defining Point "S"
We created a point and named it s. S would be the point be defined by the falling object equation and the time equation. This made point s move with the slider in a parabolic form moving with time.
Step 3- Stopping Papa Smurf
One major thing we wanted to do was make Papa Smurf stop a our mattress height. To do this we used the falling/rising object equation and solved it using variables. Our equation looked like this 0= -16sin (a)^2+v sin (a)+h+30/32.
Step 4- Telling Papa Smurf he was on the Mattress/Text
Now that Papa Smurf was landing on a point we needed him to land on the mattress. We did this by making two points and telling the computer that if Papa Smurf was between these two points and time equaled one, a text would appear saying "Congratulations, You're Not Dead!"
With all this information we were able to make a smurf shoot out of a cannon, control the distance and the height of the mattress, control the speed of the smurf, and achieve the overall goal of landing the smurf on the mattress.
From this project we learned that it may not look like we know how to do these hard tasks, but if we really think about the skills and rules we know about math we can do a lot of cool things. We really enjoyed this project and hope other kids from other school can have this opportunity too.

Dil's Farming Project
The Link to my Project: http://prezi.com/tvzfj7pd6ftx/
This project was very helpful in having people understand the math behind everything. Most people like me wouldn't bother about the why in a problem but the what. That is why when doing this project it helped me realize the why in everyday problems that occur and try to answer them with the best of my ability. The farming project that I finished may not be the best, but it shows my understanding of how to takle a problem like this. Most of the problems reenforced my understanding of skills.

Fareen's Farming Project
View Fareen's Farming Project HERE.
What did I learn in this project? I learned many things. One thing this project did was re-enforce all the standards, making sure I knew all of them. Especially 15.0. Sometimes, I would wonder how is math really used? This project sure did open my eyes to see the math behind everything. And, this project helped me see the "why" behind all the standards. Usually, you just know the "what" instead of the "why". And doing this project enforced the "why" because you would have to think logically, mathematically, and think "how would I do this in the real world?"
Alex, Dil, Franky Geogebra Applet
We decided to create our Geogebra Applet about a monkey being shot out of a cannon and hitting a building. To start this we needed to know what variables we were going to use; alpha for angle, v for the velocity of the monkey, s for the starting hight of the cannon, t0 for time, d for the building height, and c for the building distance. After we had our points we desided to put on some basic pictures. One of the hardest things was to get the King Kong picture to pop up at the end. After we solved that we were able to make words pop up that say King Kong! plus we also just copied the formula and change a sign to make things disapear. After that we just spiced it up a little and done!

Abel C. Farming Project
During this project I learned many things. The first thing that i have learned is all of the skills that we have learned in class can be used in the real world. The skill that suprised me most was in task 4 by graphing ineqaulitys. I enjoyed this project alot and i thoght it was very intresting and creative. I think you did a great job on this Mr. Cox and it all flowed together very well. The only thing i really had a problem with was the unexpected due date. that is my opinon on this project.

I learned their is a reason that we do all we do. I know that there is practical uses for all the things we have learned. I know that if I ever possessed a ranch I would be better be prepared to run it. I think that the project could have been better if we had more resources giving us hints on how to do the tasks.

Real Estate Income vs. a Good/Bad Economy
Hypothesis
I believe that in a good economy that real estate agents make more money. My reason behind this is that in a good economy more people have more money and wealth which means they are willing to spend more on a big house. Meaning the value of the houses will go up causing the real estate agents to make more money. Real estate agents make a certain percent of the total costs of the house they sell. If they sell a house for cheap they are not going to make much money. For example if a house is $100 and the real estate agent makes ten percent of the total amount for the house, they will only make $10.
Conclusion
My uncle that lives in Madera makes over $100,000 a year on average. During a good year he says he can make up to $250,000 selling houses. He owns a real estate company in Madera him and his wife are both very wealthy people. His wife just recently joined him in his company and they make on average $350,000 a year. My uncle Frank says, “The real estate business is like a roller coaster so when we can we like to save a lot of money. You never know what the next year is going to bring, so we have to be prepared for the worst.” So do people in our society make more money in a good economy? Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! While during this project I learned to think outside the box and find a fun and creative way to prove my point. I look forward to doing similar projects to this one in the future.

Height vs. Distance: By Neelam
For my project I used the variables height vs. distance. My question is: Does our height affect how far you can jump? I got this idea from track because I did long jump and I wanted to see how far people, from our math class, could jump.
In my project I used the tallest, medium, and shortest people who were willing to jump. (Tall Person 1-2, Medium Person 1-2, Short Person 1-2) After I had gotten the people, I asked for their height. After their height was recorded they had to jump from a line outside and see how far they could jump. Then I measured how far they jumped from that line to where they landed and measured from their heel.
My prediction was that the tallest person would have the advantage of jumping farther because they can grab speed fairly quickly and have longer legs. Then again the weight of the person can interfere with the distance but I am not going to go there. The shorter people can get a pretty fast speed but their legs are also very short and you really have to get your legs out in front of you as far as you can. The speed and how far you can put yourself out in front of you is the key to getting far and I think the tall people have that advantage.
Numbers:
| TP1 (5" 7) | 10 | 9.8 | 10.6 | 10.8 |
| TP2 (5" 5) | 7.5 | 7.8 | 8.1 | 6.8 |
| MP1 (5" 2) | 4 | 4.1 | 4.3 | 4.6 |
| MP2 (5" 2) | 9.3 | 8.7 | 9.3 | 10.8 |
| SP1 (4" 11) | 8 | 8.1 | 8.1 | 8.3 |
| SP2 (4" 10) | 5.4 | 5.3 | 6 | 5 |
Picture: Top right
Equation: h not equal to d
Words:
My prediction about tall people jumping farther than others, in this case, is correct. I also thought that your height depended on how far you can jump which was wrong because as you can see in my numbers category that short person number 2 jumped farther than medium person number 1 and medium person number 2 jumped farther than tall person 2! Great job guys!!!
Heart Rate vs. Holding your Breath
Question:
How is one's heart rate affected by holding his or her breath?
Main Idea:
Being a swimmer, I always hold my breath, so I was wondering if holding one's breath affects his or her heart rate. I decided to test this out on myself and some of my swimming friends.
Hypothesis:
I think that holding one's breath will affect one's heart rate because holding one's breath lets less oxygen to one's heart, so one's heart works harder to get oxygen, making it pump faster.
Procedure:
Get a stopwatch, recording materials, and 5 people (swimmers) to test. Take each person’s pulse for a minute three times and average their numbers. Then, have each person hold their breath for 25 seconds. Immediately after, take their pulse, repeating that two more times.
Results:
When I did my experiment, I found some very interesting information. Person number one had a normal heart rate averaged to about 80 beats per minute, and their pulse, after holding their breath, was about 87 beats per minute. Person number two had a normal pulse averaging 82 beats per minute, with a pulse of 85 bpm after holding their breath. Person number three had a normal heart rate at about 79 bpm, and their pulse after holding their breath was about 98 bpm. Person four’s normal pulse averaged 67 bpm and 74 bpm after no breathing. Last, Person five averaged about 74 beats per minute at rest, and 85 bpm after holding their breath. Over all, the beats per minute sped up, averaging a faster speed. On average, the difference between the regular pulses and their pulses after holding their breaths was 9 beats per minute.
Graphs:
Conclusion:
According to my experiment’s results, my hypothesis was correct, holding their breath did affect a person’s heart rate. Comparing the regular heart rates and the heart rates after holding their breath, the average difference was nine beats per minute. Using this information, we can conclude that the longer someone holds their breath, the faster their heart will beat. But, not everyone's heart rate changed by the same amount, they varied between the different people. No matter what, though, their pulses did speed up some. Now I know that at swim practice, when I hold my breath, my heart rate gets faster.

Gender vs. Time Used to Get Ready
My relations project is gender vs. time it take you to get ready (take a shower, do your hair/makeup, brush your teeth, ect...). The relationship in my project is that on average in my 2nd and 3rd period math class with Mr. Cox, the boys take about half as long as the girls to get ready. I collected my data using the T-Chart below. Follow the link.
http://creately.com/app?diagID=g8xs5sol1
I also used a graph to help me understand that average amount of time spent getting ready vs. gender. Shown to the upper left. I also created an approximate equation for this specific problem. It is b= g2 b= boy and g= girl.

Relations Project: Leg Length vs. Arm Length
Luke B.
For my project, I compared a human's arm length (in inches)(right arm)(from finger tips to shoulder) and leg length (in inches)(right leg)(from the bottom of the foot to the hip). I was curious to see how much longer (on average) a person's leg was than their arm. I found that, on average, a person's leg is about 10-13 inches longer than their arm. My initial prediction was actually really close to the outcome. The equation above (y= .58x + 21.26) is true only up to a certain point. Only after about 20 inches in leg length does this slope work. The y intercept might only work if someone has short legs and no arms. The line doesn't go on forever either.
Heart Rate Vs. Time
Jonathan H.
Periods 2-3
My two variables for the relations project are average heart rate and time. After choosing these variables, I have chosen my question to be : Is your heart rate effected by your actions? I have made several graphs and tables to show my different data I have heart rate after ten seconds at rest and heart rate for ten seconds after you have finished jumping up and down for twenty seconds. I have had eight people try my project so I can gather my data. All the data I have gathered led me to believe that a sense of action indeed leads you to incease your heart rate. The first graph pictured is measuring the person's heart rate at rest, while the second graph measures thier heart rate after their action. Also after the project, I have found out that the girls had a higher average heart rate than the boys did.
Equation: heart rate in 1 min. = heart rate in 10 sec. * 10
Length of Day vs Latitude - Carissa Bunch
While researching for this project i first noticed a couple of relations, (the whole point of the project). First off i noticed that the length of day at 60 degrees south durning December was around the same length of day at 60 degrees north in june. I also noted how the graph curves, i was informed this type of graph is a period. The graph, if continued, would continue curving. I noticed that in March and September the daylight hours are near 12hours, this is because of the Spring and Autumnal Equinoxes.

For my project I compared the amount of water in a pot to the speed that it cools. I used a candy thermometer to get the temperatures and checked every 25 minutes. My line of best fit is shown above. My results said that more density meant slower cooling than less. MY equation for the smaller pot is y=-12/25+140. My equation for the bigger pot was y=-23/25+140.

Weight VS. Age
Jennifer A.
My relations project is on Weight vs. Age. My question is: (Does your age depend on whether or not your overwight?) To prove my hypothesis I've taken some charts that show the age and proper weight you should be and took them in comparisin to my beliefs. To calculate one's weight you would have to find your (BMI). BMI stands for body mass index. This tells you whether yor an apropiate weight for your height by estimating your body fat.
Formula for BMI: (weight in pounds*703)/inches sq.

- Underweight = <18.5

- Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
Age and weight for teen boys/teen girls
Boys
12-13 years 85-100 lbs.
14 -15 years 105 - 125 lbs.
Girls
12 - 13 95 - 100 lbs.
14 - 15 105 - 115 lbs.
Weight can have a major effect on our lives because it can lead to several diseases in our adulthood. Such threats like high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, diabetes, and diabetes type 2. That is why we must start good lifestyle choices. Due to your age group you must be between those ranges they give you. So that way you can prevent these things early on before they happen.
In my graph it shows the rate at which a person gains weight throghout their age. I proved that the older a person gets the more weight they gain due to their metabolism. People begin to gain more weight at the age of 14-60. then at a certain point it begins to go down and then it stops.
I believe that by showing you these charts and the information, as well as the formula, you can be able to see whether or not your health is in good conditions. I believe that this is an important cause because it has to determine how long we have to live our lives and enjoy it.
In Conclusion, I've worked really hard on this and whosever reading this should keep in mind everything that I told you. I am very proud of my project and I believe that I proved my hypothesis to the fullest. This was my Relations Project.

Does Height Matter?
By: Katrina Lombardi
Period 2-3
For my project, I am comparing an individuals height to his/her distance on the triple jump. I chose this comparison because I did triple jump for the track team here at Sequoia and I wondered if taller people always had an advantage. I chose to compare height to distance because you have to reach out with you legs and I think the longer your legs are, the farther you have potential to jump.
(This is how you triple jump.)
My hypothesis is that if you are taller and have longer legs, it helps. When you are little for instance, you can barley run. When you are around 5 feet and in the Olympics though, you can jump to around 50. I think the taller you are, the farther you can jump because you have longer legs.
My Graphs on men and women in the Olympics:

My Graphs on men and women in the Olympics:
After I did my research, I found out many interesting facts. One of them was that in the women's competition, the shorter women jumped farther than the taller. Sure, Trecia Smith who placed fourth in it was 6'1'', but the majority of the women who placed were 5'7''. It's probably because of how much they weight and if you weigh less, you jump farther. Interestingly, in the men's competition, the tallest of the men won gold. In fact, out of the six men who placed sixth or higher, the two tallest men won first and third. How much they weigh probably isn't as much of a difference for them because boys are built stronger than girls most of the time. So, the height of a person who is jumping triple does matter. If you are a guy and are tall, you should try the triple jump because you have more of a chance over someone not as tall. If you're a girl and are in the 5'7'' range, the triple jump is perfect for you.
If I were given another chance to do this project or anyone else wanted to research it, I would recommend comparing weight vs distance because weight might have affected the women and I want to see if this is true.
P.S. I hope I haven't discouraged anyone from trying the Triple Jump if you are not the perfect height. It's really fun and is worth giving a try.

Total Gallons of Water Used VS. Time
How many gallons of water, total, would an average person use in 24 hours? On average, a person would use approximately 123 gallons of water in 24 hours (according to Enotes.com). DWA Average Household Water Useage=207gallons in a day, 6210 gallons in a month, 75555 gallons in a year. An average person who lives in India would actually use only 20 gallons of water per day!!!

my relations project
My thoughts on the relations project is that is this going to be a very fun and exciting experiment and well help us on help our selfs.
My project so far has not really got off to a good start i have not done any experiments yet but i do have the two veriables i am going to comparewhich are speed at wich i am skate boading ad he distance i can olley(jump).
What i expect in a good project are a good consestent change and a steady flow of answers. and hopeful not to get hurt in doing so.

Money Intake vs. A good/bad economy By: Fernando Perez
I believe that the relations project is a good way to learn in a fun and creative way. It's a lot better than just reading out of a book and coming up with answers. In order to complete this project you have to think outside the box.
My Progress: I visited my uncle who is a real estate agent in Madera and he says that when the economy is bad his bank suffers. He started off at the top becuase he entered the bussiness when it was booming and now he's having hard times. So when the economy is bad everyone suffers.A good project should explain to the person who sees it what they are looking at. It should have graphs and info about the relation you're researching.

Heart Rate vs. Jump Roping
Question- Will jump roping effect my Heart Rate?
Graph
Numbers
Write up-My project is Heart Rate vs. Jump Roping. What I did was Jump rope for 5 second intervals. Then I checked my heart rate after every interval. I did this until I found a point where my heart rate didn't increase any more. Which was at 50 seconds. Then I recorded the data and put it in to a table, graph, and equation. First off, my graph showed my heart rate compared to the amount of time jump roping. My first interval on the y-axis was bpm or heart rate. My second interval on the x-axis was the amount of time jump roping. On the graph there was a point that did not fit the best fit line. I can explain the reason why. The reason why the first point is far off is because when you exercise even for a few seconds your heart rate will drastically go up. Next, my equation is also effected by that one point. But the best equation I came up with as x=70+5.4. X being my next heart rate according to the graph.The equation works until you hit the 50 second mark, then the graph does not go up any more. I came up with this equation by adding the differences of the heart rates then didved by the number of heart rates. And came up with average increase of my heart rate which was 5.4 for every 5 seconds. Then I added the initial condition,70,to the equation and thats how I found the equation. Again which was x=70+5.4. Finally I made a table of my points on the graph. These numbers represent my heart rate recorded after every 5 second interval.The last three numbers represented that my heart stopped increasing at that point in time. Because eventually your heart will stop going up. The most important thing I found out was that your heart is effected by jump roping, which is why I wanted to do this project. I really enjoyed this project and hope to have more like it. Thanks for reading.

hey
i think that this is going to be a fun exercise. I have not got very far get i only have a basic idea on what i am going to do . I expect to see a constant change and no out of wacko numbers.
"Relationship Project"
#1.I think that this is a fun way to express our knowledge of graphing and explore how his math is used in evereyday life.
#2.So far, I've got my question-Is your heart rate effected by how long you hold your breath?-and my hypothesis. I think that your heart rate will be effected by how long you hold your breath, because your body has no oxygen intake while holding your breath. I've also decided to throw in comparing your heart rate when you hold your breath when running for a certain amount of time versus your heart rate when swimming under water for that time.
#3.To me, a good project would include a inovative relationship and an interesting way to experiment it. It should also have enough information and a good conclusion so others can fully understnd it.
Relations Project - Elisabeth Nunez
(A) I think this is a good idea because you can come up with a creative idea for a project and make it resonable, like make someone else say thats cool and it still have a vaild point.
(B) So far I have come up with a good idea and what I think is a reasonable question that is focused on my topic. My project is on making paper cranes. In my project I will see if the type of material I use to make the cranes will affect the dificutly and time it takes to make the cranes.
(C) What I would expect to see in a good project is a good question one that stays on focus to the topic of the project. Also it has to be neat and organized, information cant be scattered all over place.
