Story one: Goalkeeping warm-ups GCF Story one: Goalkeeping warm-ups Before a big tournament, me and my soccer league were warming up. I’m the goalkeeper, and the other kids in my league are shooting on me. My league director wanted 64 defense, and 36 offense. What’s the largest number of kids that can be in each line for offense and defense? How many lines of defense will there be? How many lines of offense will there be? How many total kids will there be left over for the goalkeeper line? *(All answers will be in green for story one.)

Goalkeeping warm-ups Solving I would first go about solving this by figuring out the GCF of 64 and 36: 64 36 The first two 2s are the only primes in common so we multiply: 2 2 which is 4. Therefore being, the GCF of 64 and 36. 32 2 2 18 16 2 4 people in each line 2 9 GCF=4 (greatest common factor) 8 2 4 3 3 2 2 2

Next I would divide each number by the GCF of 4 Goalkeeping warm-ups Next I would divide each number by the GCF of 4 64/4=16 36/4=9 64 36 16 defensive players per line 9 offensive players per line

Goalkeeping Warm-Ups Goalkeeping Line This is a “trick question” If there truly is a greatest common factor that is a whole number, then there will be no remainders, or left-overs. I am the only one in the goalkeeping line. This is my first audio recording, make sue to listen to it first. This is my second audio recording-listen to it last.

Story Two: Integers FRISBEE GOLFING We started with 21 Frisbees in all. On Monday, while I was playing I got a Frisbee stuck in a tree about 40 feet up-so long to him. Then one of my brothers, Corey, threw his into a stream-we’re really having some bad luck! But then my dad found a Frisbee someone else had lost on the second-to-last whole and kept it because it had no name or contact information-YAY! We were all busy on Tuesday and Wednesday, so we didn’t Frisbee golf, but on Wednesday, for my brother, Jacob’s birth-day, we all gave him a box of Frisbees we have found over the years! The box had 4 rows, and 7 columns! On Thursday, just me and my dad went, and when we got back to our car we realized we had left 12 Frisbees on top of my dad’s trunk, and 5 of them were stolen! On Friday we all went to go Frisbee-golfing, and have a picnic. We accidentally left 2 on the table, but later someone retrieved 1 of them that had our contact information, and called us! We got that one back on Saturday! Saturday evening my dog came up to me 3 times while I was outside-he had found a Frisbee each time and brought it to me! But one of them was too damaged so I had to through it out. And on Sunday it was national Frisbee-golf day and we went to a convention where kids 12 and under got 3 free Frisbees, kids 13-19 got 2, and people that are 20+ (adults) got 1. Wow- that was really crazy, and confusing, and I need to know how many Frisbees in TOTAL we have now. Can you to find our new total? Story Two: Integers FRISBEE GOLFING My dad, two brothers (that are 14 and 18) and I (11) like to Frisbee golf. (My mom has never really liked the sport- she just walks my dog, and hangs out.) We had a really crazy, and amazing week, and now we’re sure we have a different number of Frisbees than before this week! Wow!

21+(-1)+(-1)+1+(4x7)+(-5)+(-2)+1+3+(-1)+3+(2 )+1=NEW AMOUNT This is the equation for solving. I will solve using an orderly list, and steps. THE Equation 2 21+(-1)+(-1)+1+(4x7)+(-5)+(-2)+1+3+(-1)+3+(2 )+1=NEW AMOUNT

Frisbee-Golfing Order of operations Parentheses come first Exponents are next Multiplication is third Then division-NONE Next is addition Then finally, subtraction I will only be doing: Parentheses * Exponents, and Addition!  *all multiplication is in parentheses. Explanation audio:

Frisbee-golfing order of operations Parentheses Exponents Addition 4x7 =28 2 =4 21+-1+-1+1+ -5+-2+1+3 +-1+3+1=20 2

Final step Frisbee-golfing Now I have to add all the numbers together. 28+4+20= a total of 52!

THANKS FOR WATCHING! HOPE YOU THOUROUGHLLY ENJOYED IT 
