Applied Math Class Pictures

Here are some recent snapshots of some of the students in Applied Math working on logic puzzles. Here is a link the puzzle that they are working on in most of the pictures. I love seeing the different strategies and visuals that the students use to organize their thinking...

Could you solve this puzzle??

Applied Math Project Requirements

 Please Note: This project is due at the beginning of class on Friday, Nov 13th. 


Please make sure that you use every piece of clothing at least once! Thanks and good luck


1. Look at the post below to see Mark's potential outfits

2. Figure out the probability of him wearing any one combination

3. Eliminate any unacceptable choices ( for example, the white and green shirt, lax tie and striped pants would be too much!)

4. Calculate the new likelihoods of choosing any one (acceptable) outfit.

5. Create a visual of your work. This can be a tree diagram, a chart, etc. The completed visual should show and label all of the acceptable combinations as well as show the likelihood of choosing any one outfit.

6. Be ready to present your work to the class. Anyone who gets a 90% or above can help choose an actual outfit for Mark to wear to work one day. ( and yes, it can be a silly one)


Don't forget to follow the rubric!
