Programming Assignment 3

1. Click the green flag. What do the three animals do? The cat and monkey glide to the right side of the screen while the dog moves to the right side. 
2. Look at the scripts for each of the 3 sprites. What 3 blocks do all three sprites use? They use "when green flag clicked", "wait", and "go to". 
3. What blocks does the cat use to move? "go to" and "move 10 steps". 
4. What block does the dog use to move? "go to" 
5. What block does the monkey use to move? "go to" and "glide". 
6. Describe in your own words how the move block works. It makes the person move a certain amount of steps forward or backwards. 
7. Describe in your own words how the go to xy block works. It makes that sprite go to the coordinates that you designated for it. Used mostly in a starting point. 
8. Describe in your own words how the glide block works. The sprite will glide over slowly instead of instantly (like the go to) to the designated coordinates. 
9. Some of the blocks require x: and y: coordinates. Place the mouse over the white window and look at the mouse x: and mouse y: numbers underneath the bottom. How are the x: and y: coordinates determined in Scratch? The x and y coordinates are determined like a graph. The middle being (0,0).

Tower building activity

One week: 50 stacks
Two weeks: 25 stacks
Three weeks: 13 stacks
Four weeks: 7 stacks
Five weeks: 4 stacks
Six weeks: 2 stacks
Seven weeks: 1 stack

IT WORKS.

Cornrow Problem

Handshake and Fencepost

1. You will shake 19 hands.
H = N
N-1=H

2. There will be 13 posts
F = N
F+1=P

3. There will be 45 handshakes for 10 people.
10(10-1)/2 = 45
There will be 190 handshakes for 20 people.
20(20-1)/2 = 190

4. These problems are important to solve because it will help somebody know how to do their job correctly. A carpenter may use these equations to get the proper measurements. A chef may use these equations to cook the correct amount of food for guests. And a teacher may use these equations in everyday math.

Paper folding

Plan: First I folded the paper into thirds and then tore it.
Then I folded it into half and tore it.
And lastly tore it into half again and tore it, giving me 12 pieces.

Pieces: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Folds:  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  9  10  11

Community Problem

We can write to our representative and create a petition that would allow Hoss Field to be open to the public and act as our public park. We can create fundraisers and take donations to help maintain the park and help build the park

We will need to collect data on how many people would want the public park and who would help put effort into maintaining and building the park. A survey would be sent to everybody and depending on the results, we would try to go through with making Hoss Field open to the public.

We could also hire people to maintain the park. The park would have to take in a lot of revenue to be maintained each year but every other park seems to take in a good amount of revenue, with the help of the city from time to time. We would have to do concessions to make money for the park, we could also hold annual competitions as well.

If the petition is passed and they allow Hoss Field to become a public park, people could volunteer and help build the park and be recognized for it. People could come and play sports, play games, or walk around and enjoy the new-built park.
