A COOL MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH EXERCISE
This idea comes from Burkard and Giuseppe @ the fabulous MATHOLOGER channel. Students can make a pattern called a cardioid that pops up all over math according to Burkard.
Follow these steps. There is a pdf file below the first diagram for printing exercise sheets.
And then watch the MATHOLOGER video for a really interesting explanation.
x2 Tables on a Circle pdf file for printing
This circle graph blank could also be used for x3 and x4 tables, which produce totally different yet equally amazing patterns.
Halfway there, now it gets tricky. +52 to each point on the circle and keep multiplying by 2.
ie. 27 x 2 = 54, 28 x 2 = 56 and so on.
so 0 = 52, 1 = 53, 2 = 54, 3 = 55, 4 = 56 etc
This shape is called a CARTIOID.

I am grateful to Jeff Jacoby and his column, Arguable, in the Boston Globe for reminding me of how Isaac Newton filled in his time when he went into self-isolation during The Great Plague of London in 1665-1666.
He spent time thinking and the results were astounding!!!!!

USA UNITS below. METRIC UNITS here .
BEAR STATISTICS
Weight: 550 lb
Height: 8’ 2”
Top Speed: 35 mph = 51 ft/s
Weight: 1,500 lb
Height: 8’ 2”
Top Speed: 22 mph = 32 ft/s
Comparing these speeds to the fastest man on earth, Usain Bolt:
Usain Bolt:
Top speed: 27 mph = 40 ft/s
Bears are not dangerous:
………………………………………………………………………
In fact, more Americans die each year from choking on their own vomit than are killed by bears.
More death stats here .
Nevertheless, bears are very fast. So you can see why Park Rangers offer the following advice:
More information at Mountain Nature .
The reason for waiting until the bear is 15 ft away is to make sure the spray doesn’t disperse in the air. If the Pepper Spray is too spread out it will not stop the bear.

METRIC UNITS below . USA UNITS here.
BEAR STATISTICS
Grizzly Bear
Weight: 250kg
Height: 250cm
Top Speed: 56kph = 16 m/sec
More bear stats here.
Brown Bear
Weight: 680kg
Height: 250cm
Top Speed: 35kph = 10m/s
More bear stats here .
Comparing these speeds to the fastest man on earth, Usain Bolt:
Usain Bolt:
Top speed: 243kph = 12m/s
So Usain Bolt could out run a Brown Bear but NOT a Grizzly!
Bears are NOT as dangerous as:
In fact more Americans die choking on their own vomit each year than a re killed by bears.
More death stats here .
But bears are very fast so Park Rangers recommend the following survival tactics:

“A growing body of research shows us that outdoor play leads to better physical and mental health, has positive effects on cognitive function and learning, and reduces the incidence of behavioural problems .” Maria Zotti, Nature Play, SA .
Peter Dunstan, Principal Kilkenny PS, SA, writes in SAPPA magazine, Primary Focus, that outdoor play fosters “wonderment, independence and freedom ” as well as “social skills, imagination, creativity and problem solving ”.
Inspired by SAPPA and NaturePlay, Mathspig has produced her own outdoorsy maths list:
