"Your Life" assignment

1. Tape four sheets of graph paper together.

2. Figure out a way to draw one rectangle around 100 squares on the paper.

3. There are actually five possible rectangles you could draw which contain 100 squares. Draw all five possibilities.

4. You just illustrated a math concept that everyone in the United States MUST understand and use every day. What is it?

5. Make a list of the four most important things in your life. Assign a color to each thing. For example money could be green, family yellow, school black etc.

6. Decide how many squares out of one hundred money occupies in your life and color that many squares green, color family squares yellow, etc.

7. Now calculate the percentage of importance each thing occupies in your life.
Write these percentages underneath your box.
