Write About the Math
How will your future vehicle be powered, and what math will be used in its design or use?¿Con qué funcionará tu vehículo del futuro, y qué matemáticas se usarán en su diseño o su uso?
Say your answer to a partner first. Then write it, using at least two of these words:
Model: One pedal rotation makes one wheel rotation, so a bigger wheel's longer perimeter carries the bicycle farther with each pedal push. — A strong answer connects the 1-to-1 ratio to the wheel's perimeter, explaining a bigger wheel travels farther per pedal push. A weak answer just says 'bigger is faster' without naming the ratio or perimeter.
