In
these few pages we represent very useful information in a
fun way by expressing it with amusement parks!
Example
Fraction &Decimal
If half of a mary go round is built, how much more is left?
1 half
If .5
of the mary go round is built, how much do you have left to
build?
.5
Percents This
time if 50% of the mary go round is built, how much more do
you have to build?
50%
Scientific Notaion, Exponents, & Radical
If Disney bought 100,000ft of Universal Studio's property
than the equivilenceto that would be v100,000=316.227, 100·10ˆ3=100,000,
=316.227ˆ2
(v=radical sybol)
Absolute
Value If
you are on a roller coaster and the coaster makes a -50 ft.
drop, what is the absolute value of that drop?
50 ft.

and used in the real world (MA.A.1.3).

of equivalent forms, including integers, fractions, decimals,
percents, scientific notation, exponents, radicals, and absolute
value.
Amusement
Park Activity
Big
Test- Math is everywhere you already know that but for
these specifac mathematical expressions (radicals, exponents,
and scientifac notation) your mostly going to use it with
rather large numbers but it can also be used with small numbers
too.
Small Number
Count how many students there are in you class and put that
number in Radicals, Exponents, and Scientifac Notation
Large number
Next time you visit a theme park the first ride you ride put
it the number of people in front of you in Scientifac Notation,
Exponents, and Radicals.
Did you know? That
Florida has 15
amusement parks?
