Sample and scores for Meet 4

SAMPLE PROBLEM

A glass prism is an equilateral triangle on one end
and is 6 inches long. The perimeter of the triangle is
3 inches. What is the total surface area of the
prism, exactly?

Since the perimeter is 3, each side of the triangle must be 1.
Recall one special triangle (half an equilateral) has a base of 1, hypotenuse 2 and height
√3
The sample is half that - base=
½, hypotenuse = 1, height = ½√3
Area of triangle =
½bh = ½ x 1 x ½√3=¼√3
Surface area = sides + 2 ends = 3
x 6 + 2 x ¼√3 = 18 + ½√3 sq in

Some of you may remember 2 years ago when we were in with some really good teams from farther South. Well if we combined the leagues, Heritage would be tied for 3rd/4th and Friendly Hills would be in 5th. Both would be ahead of Apple Valley, Black Hawk, and Eagle Ridge.

Meet 3 Results from Nov 16

Gail did not record the scores of the other teams, so we'll have to wait until those scores are posted, but here are the individual results.

Both Gold teams solved all 10 team problems. Unfortunately FHMS left off the units on one problem and lost 4 points - ouch!

By the way, congratulations to both school's teams who set new school records with the total team score!!!

Heritage Red ..........42

Notice that Friendly Hills is in 4th place not 5th as I had thought.
Also note that Friendly Hills Red is in first place among the 3 second teams!
Also remember that the top 6 from Friendly Hills scored 122 points, so FHMS will probably move up as the year goes on. Also So. St. Paul was short one player in Meet 1, so they will probably score 12-20 more points next time.

Heritage Practice Results Oct 11, 2010

My policy on absences is to estimate what they would have gotten based on previous scores and then deduct 2. A second abscence results in a 0 for that practice.

MEET 1 RESULTS

I think these were the scores of the 5 teams
(Visitation and Trinity did not field teams)
Had I put the right 6 on Friendly Hills they would have scored 122. So. St. Paul had only 5 today, so it looks like 4 teams are going to battle it out for 2nd and 3rd. SPA has a huge lead. Can anyone catch them?

Good participation and behavior by all involved! Some amazing
scores were put up by some fifth graders from both schools!

Correction

I think at both schools I said no one in Minnesota got every problem correct last year.
That was incorrect. There were actually 6 kids that got them all right on all 10 tests.
And there were two more who got them all right, but left off the units on one problem!

Heritage Team

Get those permission forms in!!!
Next Monday (Oct 4, 2010) you need to go to the attendance secretary to get permission to leave your last your class at 3:00. Get what you need from your locker and go to the math team room (if in use, wait quietly in the commons area)

Note that those with an * CANNOT PARTICIPATE until they turn in their permission form.

Today's Problems

40 1. What is the smallest number divisible by both 8 and 10?
A lot of you did not read the question carefully and put down 2.

9/25 2. Which fraction is a ratio of relatively prime numbers? 15/60 9/25 8/144 49/14
This means which is reduced to lowest form? Clearly 15 and 60 are both divisible by 5, 8 and 144 are both divisible by 2 and 49 and 14 are both divisible by 7.

33 3. What is the smallest integer, n, such that 1n1 is a perfect cube?
This one is a bit tricky, but thinking clearly will make it easy. 8 is a perfect cube because it is 2x2x2. 27 is a perfect cube because it is 3x3x3. So what number times itself twice more has a product starts with a 1 and ends with a 1? Well it can't be an even number. 1x1x1=1 so it could end in a 1. 3x3x3 =27 so that will end in a 7, not a 1. 5x5x5 nope - that'll end in a 5. 7x7x7=49x7 Nope-that'll end in a 3. 9x9x9=81x9 which will end in a 9. So it has to end in a 1! Let's try 11x11x11. Multiply it out and you get 1331 which fits the pattern we need! So the answer is 11. Wait! What was the question? 1n1 is a perfect cube - ah 1331 is the perfect cube so n is 33.

18,900 and 36,450 4. Find two pairs, of integers that have a Greatest Common Factor of 18 and a Least Common Multiple of 900. So we're looking for two groups of factors with a GCF of 18 and a LCM of 900.
The factors of 18 are 2 x 3 x 3. The factors of 900 are 3 x 3 x 5 x 2 x 5 x 2
So we have two groups of factors - 2,3,3 and 2,2,3,3,5,5
Both have factors 2 x 2 x 3 so both have a greatest common factor of 18. So one pair is: 18 and 900.
To get the other pair, lets move one of the factors of 900 into the 18 camp - but we can't move a 5, because then(2,3,3,5 2,2,3,3,5) the greatest common factor wouldn't be 18 any longer - it would be 18x5 which is 90. So what else can we move? We need a 2,3,3 in both our numbers, so 2 is the only factor left. So let's shift a 2 from the 900 to the 18: 2,2,3,3 and 2,3,3,5,5
2x2x3x3=36 and 2x3x3x5x5 =450 Our new pair with with a GCF of 18 and a LCM of 900 is 36 and 450.

(5x+6)/15 5. Write as on fraction in reduced form: x/3 + 2/5 = ?
How do add fractions? Get a common denominator. The common denominator is 15. Multiply top and bottom of x/3 by 5 to get 5x/15 and multiply top and bottom of 2/5 by 3 to get 6/15.
5x/15 + 6/15 can be now added because they have a common denominator. Answer (5x+6)/15

FRIENDLY HILLS

Next Monday (Oct 4) go to Elizabeth Dahlstrom at the attendance office and get a slip to excuse you from part of your last hour class. You will be dismissed at 2:40 and meet in the math team room. We will take attendance and board the bus to Heritage and then to
So. St. Paul. We will return to Friendly Hills at 5:40 where your parents should pick you up.

Here are scores from 9/27 and final team assignments for meet 1. If your name has ?? instead of OK, it means you did not return your permission form and will not be allowed to leave class early and go to the meet on Monday. Pick up a math team permission form at the front office.
