Math Problem: What is the radius of the pot, if the circumference is 73.36 inches?
Solution: To solve the problem, you need to find the formula for circumference in a math book or formula chart. Then, you can find the radius of the pot. Work the problem as the formula shows you solving for radius.

The mathematics curriculum should include numerous and varied experiences with problem solving as a method of inquiry and application so that students can use problem solving approaches to investigate and understand mathematical content. Formulate problems from situations within and outside mathematics. Developing and applying a variety of strategies to solve problems, with emphasis on multi-step and non-routine problems; verify and interpret results with respect to the original problem situation; generalize solutions and strategies to new problem situations; acquire confidence in using mathematics meaningfully.
The historical grounds of San Jose have been around for many years. They've been around since about the 1700's. The sidewalks there now have been added, of course, but many of the original aspects are still there: grave sites, wells, and Indian ovens, known as hornos. Many of the places tourists walk, Indians and soldiers have walked as well. The friars used to teach Indians in the church there, the same church that services are still held in. The same stairs and paintings are there for everyone to see. The famous Rose Window is also there. There are lots of historical facts that still mexist at this very interesting mission.
Solution: To solve this problem you must subtract the area of the well from the area of the sidewalk. After doing this factor the difference and solve for x. (Remember that x can only be positive because is it a distance).
Topic: Topics of this problem are solving equations and basic geometry.
Grade Level: 9 -12
Standard: Standard 1: Mathematics as problem solving.
The mathematics curriculum should include the refinement and extension of methods of mathematical problem solving so that all students can use, with increasing confidence, problem-solving approaches to investigate and understand mathematical content; apply interactive mathemathical problem-solving strategies to solve problems from within and outside mathematics.

Santa Anna the President of Mexico ruled as a dictator for about five years. Texas rebelled and wanted to become its own independent state. Santa Anna would not accept this, so he had many battles in Texas, including the Battle of the Alamo. Santa Anna was feeling pretty confidant because they were winning the majority of the battles. In the Battle of the Alamo, the Mexican troops slaughtered many of the Texan troops. Santa Anna moved his troops to San Jacinto. They were tired and decided to sleep under a shady tree. The Texan troops got the best of them by sneaking up on them while they slept. Santa Anna was captured, but escaped by horseback to San Antonio. From there, he rested and moved on to Laredo where he escaped back to his home of Mexico.
Math Problem: Imagine The battle of San Jacinto is being fought. Texas has won after only 18 minutes!! Santa Anna is going to make a run to the border of Texas to escape back home to Mexico. He has riden a horse all the way to San Antonio. There he stops to rest. Then the next morning he will ride to Laredo. If he rides 15 mph , how long will it take to get to get to Laredo if it is 150 miles from San Antonio to Laredo?
Solution:
Step 1.) Find information need to solve the problem: 15 miles per hour and
150 miles to Laredo
Step 2.) Make an equation for rate: R= D/T
Step 3.) Divide: 150/15 =time it will take to get to Larado.

In the 1800's when the settlers first came to Texas, they had to bring everything. Since Texas was still part of Mexico there were no factories. Everything had to be made from scratch. The two women that we see in the picture below have to make there own dresses, shoes, blankets; and they had to grow their own food. They have to build their own houses and furniture. Factories have since made things easier in America. But for them, they had to make everything themselves.
Math Problem: Jade went to the store to buy some cloth. The cloth came in yards. 1 yard cost $5.00. She needed 2 yards of white and 1 yard of pink. How much money will she spend?
Solution: First add together how many yards there are in all, second multiply that number by $5.00.
