This year’s 10th grade HL Math students took on the role of medieval villagers whose homeland was under siege over territorial boundaries.
Students were asked to design and construct a launching device of their choice suitable for firing M & M’s.
Designs included catapults, trebuchets, and ballistas.
After compiling data from test launches, students calculated the quadratic function representing the trajectory of their M & M’s.
With this equation and the distance formula, students predicted the best launch location to defend their homeland in a mock battle of army men.
