Here is a picture of our bridge:
(We need to upload the picture.)
Bid Price: $465,060.43
Total bridge price: $504,724.67
-$39,664.24
Summary:
First we made plans and designed our bridge. Then we did the math for our bridge to figure out the bid price. After that, we built the bridge using toothpicks and wood glue. We made checks on the computer to use when we were spending money on toothpicks and audits. Later, we tested each bridge to see how much weight each bridge could hold. We lost that contest and our bridge only held 15 pounds. This project consisted of budgets, math, and building with toothpicks.
Reflection;
During this project we learned how to budget and how math in everyday life is important. We learned about different types of math and how to use them, such as percent, decimals, and multiplying. We had to purchase toothpicks and build a bridge. We are glad we did this project because it helped us with our math skills and partner skills. This was a really fun project and we are glad we had the chance to do this project.
