Math Activities Alongside Umbrellas

Apparently I missed a 24-hour interval too didn't fifty-fifty realize it... So, at 1 time I am catching upwards thus I destination the A to Z challenge on time...

Umbrellas are cool.  They are compact, but them opened upwards up to hold upwards big too useful.

  • Measure the size of the umbrella unopen too and thus stair out it when it's open.
  • How many spokes come upwards out from the centre to brand your umbrella?  How many joints are on each spoke?
  • How would y'all blueprint an umbrella?  Draw a novel type of umbrella.  Did y'all role math to become far symmetrical?
  • Get simply about chalk too when the Sun is shining depict the shadow of an umbrella's shade at it's lowest betoken (closest to the ground).  Then depict the shadow at the highest betoken y'all tin stand upwards for it.  Are the areas much dissimilar or close the same?
  • Measure the fourth dimension it takes for an umbrella to autumn from the same distance when it is unopen vs. when it is open.
What tin y'all create amongst math too umbrellas?
