Question

I need help on an assignment due today.
This is an independent project.

You are going to write a fairy tale! Your story should include all of the standard elements of fairy tales.
•Begins “Once upon a time…”
•Animals can act like humans
•Magical items or helpers
•Ends “…happily ever after.”

Answer 1

Your story must also fully cover these math concepts. This is an educational fairy tale… the best kind!
•Create a quadratic function with two real zeros.
•Solve a system of non-linear equations with a graph.
•Solve a system of non-linear equations with a table.
•Compare linear, quadratic, and exponential growth functions using a table and a graph. Submit the graph and table.
•Identify that exponential functions exceed linear and quadratic functions.

You may present your fairy tale as a document, a slideshow presentation, a comic book, a video, or other medium. Any steps or work must be shown.
I know How to write a fairy tale but don't know how to include math. o.0

Answer 2

Umm...? Use an element in the story that needs to be solved by a math problem? I guess...?

Answer 3

That's what I was thinking. But how do I do that? Like I don't know how to add it in and it make sence.

Answer 4

Have the main character or a side character think of a subtle equation like counting ducks in the winter and seeing how many come back in the spring? I think that would be a linear function idea... I have never heard of any teacher asking the student to make a short story on an equation, though...

Answer 5

Just randomly throw it in there... Maybe having an aloof character who's stir crazy about math would be a good idea... That way it would tie in a place for an equation.

Answer 6

Thank you so much! Your a sweetheart! :)

Answer 7

You're welcome!
