Proportions Project

March 4th, 2011 Written by 13michaeln · 1 Comment · Math

In this project we have to have a total of 50 points that come from different activities that deal with proportions. One of the activities I chose was Proportions in movies. Proportions in movies consist of making 5 proportion questions about several movies or to write an essay about a movie saying the proportional thinking in the movie. I chose to do both for a total of 30 points. One question was If Inigo Montoya’s sword were 1.5 feet long, how long would Andre’s sword be to have the same perspective? This is how I solved it

5 Feet =   1.5 Feet x= 2.3 Feet      9 • 1.5 ÷ 5 = 2.3 Feet

9 Feet                    x

My favorite part of this project was to make a model. When I made the model it was really fun because it ended up turning out really fun. Also when I watched lord of the rings and wrote about the proportions used it seemed cool how they got the movie to look so real. this project was really fun.
