Page 1 of 2 ZOOM 10/31/171st Hour Checkerboard Squares (25)Problem Statement - There is a standard 8-by-8 checkerboard make up of 64 small squares, these squares can be combined to form squares of other sizes within the checkerboard. How many squares of various sizes are on an 8-by-8 checkerboard altogether and suppose you have a checkerboard of some other size, how can you determine how many squares are on it altogether?Process - What I did in order to solve this is that first I wanted to see how much squares were in a 1-by-1, 2-by-2, 3-by-3, 4-by-4, 5-by-5, 6-by-6, 7-by-7, and 8-by-8. Well first I know that there are 64 squares and a 1-by-1 is just one square so 1-by-1 had 64 squares all together. For 1-by-1, I didn’t find how many vertical and horizontal positions there were because I knew 1-by-1 meant 1 square, and there were 64 squares so I know there had to be 64 squares.For 2-by-2, what I did was to see how much positions there could be. Example, there are 7 horizontal positions and 7 vertical positions so I just multiplied them and got 49 squares. I did the same for 3-by-3, I counted the horizontal and vertical positions and got 6! Then I did 6x6 and got 36. For 4-by-4 I got 5 vertical and horizontal positions, I multiplied them together and got 25. For 5-by-5 I got 4 horizontal and vertical positions, then multiplied them and got 16. For 6-by-6 I got 3 vertical and horizontal positions and multiplied them and got 9. For 7-by-7, I got 2 vertical and horizontal positions and once I multiplied them I got 4. For these I counted how many horizontal and vertical positions there are instead of just counting each square because it was easier to …show more content…
You had to multiply the horizontal and vertical positions. My percent grade would be 83%.Problem
In “The Art Room,” by Shara McCallum, the author is telling a story about her childhood. McCallum and her sisters did not grow up with a lot of money so they had to make due with what they had. “Because we had not chalk or pastels, no toad, forest, or morning-grass slats of paper, we had no color for creatures. So we squatted and sprang, squatted and sprang.” They used their imagination and their bodies to create music and art. The tone of this poem is reminiscent and whimsical, the theme is about how even if you do not have a lot of money you can still have fun.
Prompt 1 Mr. Dadier and Gregory Miller’s relationship throughout Blackboard Jungle reflects the socioculture happenings in the civil rights movement in relation to rock-and-roll. The beginning of the film opens with its only rock song Bill Haley and the Comets “Rock Around the Clock” and Dadier first encountering a group of students dancing, harassing a woman and gambling or as Shumway (125) describes, “helping to define the culture’s conception of dangerous youth and to make rock & roll apart of that definition.” The opening scene informs both Mr. Dadier and the viewer that rock-and-roll has already reached this racially integrated school noting that Gregory Miller has yet to be in a seen. For the viewers of this 1955 movie there would be a more profound reaction to the sight of a racially integrated school dancing to “Rock Around the Clock” because just a year before Brown vs Board of Education was passed which according to Szatmary (21) “helped start a civil rights movement that would foster an awareness and acceptance of African American culture, including the African American based rock-and-roll.” Since rock-and-roll was recognized as created by African-Americans it is easy for white Americans of the time to use African-American culture as a scapegoat for unruly teen behavior presented in the opening scene. The first scene Gregory Miller is introduced there is tension between him and Mr. Dadi...
1. The sociocultural history of rock & roll during the 1950s created a metamorphosis of teenage mannerisms against the older generation. Shumway (118) emphasizes how the rock & roll periodization represses the nature of normal convention illustrated in “Blackboard Jungle”; through the deviant nature of boys against adults. The boys are malicious towards each other, sneering at one another just as Vince Everett did in “Jailhouse Rock”. While the post-war generation tried to discipline the baby boomers into their known demeanor, the recalcitrant teens rebelled against all means of adult intervention. Similarly Szatmary (50) expressed the generation gap between the baby-boomer and their parents fueled the fear of delinquency in their children. Shumway (125) refers to “Blackboard Jungle” to reiterate the essence of the song “Rock around the Clock” to define the conception of foreseen dangers of youth and the behaviors associated with rock & roll as a transformative cultural practice. In reference to the integration between African Americans and whites during the rock and roll era thr...

To be able to understand Ellison’s use of irony it is important to keep in mind the point of view in which the short fictions are written in to see the good society. Ellison’s first short story, A Party Down at the Square, tells of the lynching of an African American male during a storm, that is seen through the, “kind of innocent, child’s eye, first-person point of view” (Rodgers) making little of the situation. While an adult would know of the severity of the situation and all the events occurring, the narrator thought, “all that in one night, and all of the storm over one nigger” (Ellison, Flying Home and Other Stories 11), showing the innocent and ironic point of view the narrator provides by blaming the storm on the African American who

The Rubik’s cube of life is a 6 sided puzzle that represents our lives as students. It shows that we have responsibilities as students. Throughout different grades, we had patterns or routines that helped us out. In worked for many of the grades we passed and really helped out in life. The Rubik cube shows that if we try to follow the same pattern or routine as 7th grade in 8th grade, it will not work. In fact, it might do the opposite, it might help out with one part of our lives as students but fail in others.

You will need to sum down for the first four orientations and sum across some of the rows, then sum down and divide by two for the last orientation. The chart should make it clear.

Board Games have been around for centuries, and really and truly nothing much has changed about them. The basic idea is to compete against one or more opponents. True the games may have different rules and set ups, but the concept has remained the same that is until Heroscape entered the board game genera . Heroscape is unlike any board game you have ever played before. You as the player control armies of creatures that have been collected from across the universe and other dimensions. The story line of the game states that a race of beings resembling angles are at war and are using creatures as pawns to decide their victory. These creatures are vast in variety ranging from simple humans from World War II and the Wild West Era, to aliens form
