Social ME-dia

Image
I was surprised to find out that the last thing I said on Skype was talking about packing for CWW. I thought that I would be talking about something way more interesting. I don't really have a lot of social media accounts, so I do feel a bit sad about that because a lot of my friends have social media and talk about it at school, but since I don't have them, I don't really know what they're talking about, so they have to fill me in. I also think that that it's good that I don't have some social media because a lot of drama happens on social media, and a lot of people get bullied on social media, so I think this keeps me safe (also from people finding out my name, and things). This also shows who I am (hence the name Social ME -dia).

Mathematical Reflections #1

1. What are the common properties of all polygons? Some common properties are: straight edges closed shape no intersecting lines 2. What does the measure in degrees tell you about an angle?     What are some common benchmark angles? The measure in degrees tells you if the angle is acute, obtuse, or a reflex because when you measure the angle, if it is in-between the 0º and 90º it is acute. If it is in-between 90º and 180º it is obtuse. If it is in-between 180º and 360º it is a reflex angle. Some common benchmarks are 90º, 180º, 270º, 360º, and within 90º there is, 30º, 45º, 60º. 3. What strategies can be used to estimate angle measures?     To deduce angle measures from given information?     To find accurate measurements with tools? Some strategies that can be used are to look for benchmark angles, and estimate off of that. This will give you a general idea of what the angle is, because if you know what general angles look like,...

Name: Calvin Rieder Name of the Invention:  Passive Dual Purpose Condensers to Provide Potable Water I think that Calvin deserves to win because his invention is very practical for people in need, whereas some of the other kids designs (I'm not saying they're bad!) are meant fore people who aren't in need. His design shows that people can have access to clean drinking water without running costs, so everybody in the world can save money! This invention can work every night without any electricity running, so in the morning there would be enough water for the whole day because the invention would have been working during the night, producing water. This invention also doesn't need a person to monitor it, or turn on a switch. This can save people's live.
