Problem Statement:
For the first day of the of the circle square problem we had a choice of which were; What is the largest and smallest perimeter and circumference? At what points are the areas equal? There was also a challenge problem, which was; At what rate are the area and perimeter changing?My group chose to see at what points the areas were equal. For the second day we were still trying to figure out at where the points had the same area.
Group Process:
During the first day, my group and I struggled to find a way to find the point where they had equal areas. We had seen other groups solutions and created our own formula, but it was not working. The second day my group came up with the right formula to find the area of both shapes which allowed us to find the equal point through trial and error.
My Process:
I was really stuck on this problem because we were not given a formula or anything. Once my group members had found a formula that worked to find the answer, I was able to help solve it. The only way we could solve this problem was through trial and error. We tried different sets of numbers until we found the ones that were equal.
Solution:
Our groups solution involved finding the formula for each of the shapes. Once we found a formula that fit each of the shapes, we were able to plug in different points until we got the ones that had an equal formula. Another way we solved this problem was by guessing. We were choosing random points on the line and hoping they would get closer to our answer.
Problem Assessment:
I honestly did not enjoy this problem. The problem was really frustrating because we had to find the formula and use trial and error to find the answer. Although the problem was frustrating I did learn new things, like how to make a formula. The video was also frustrating because I could not pause it where I need to. Throughout the problem I think my group worked very well together.
Self Assessment:
During the three days we worked on our problem, I think I deserve an A. I did help solve the problem and tried my hardest. I also tried to help my group as much as possible. I also did not give up when I became frustrated with this problem.
