This week for Algebra we are working on a very complex project that requires critical thinking skills. It seems very easy , but it is not so easy. The project os to find how many pennies are in a box and then to find out how much it weighs. You have to figure this out by knowing what to do with the dimensions of the box and of the penny. Then after you figure out how many pennies there are, you have to find out how much the box weighs by using a mixture of pennies made before 1980 and after 1980. We have to show all of our work.
With the answer, we have to write a written report explaining why we did each step and how we could have done the same problem in a different way. As you can see this is not an exact answer. It is an accurate and reasonable guess. It may be more or less to what you gave as an answer, but it has to be somewhat close. I hope I get the right amount that is good enough to be a good estimated guess. This does need time and work to figure the answer. This os our Pennies in the Box project!
