Math Blog Post

Today, we continued to work with the wumps. We grouped up and compared each wump, Mug, Glug, Bug, Zug, and Lug. We compared them mathmaticly, looking at things each wumps hieght, width, and side lengths. After we did that, we found that Glug and lug were imposters of mug because their lengths weren't stretched evenly. Zug and Bug aren't imposters because their lengths are evenly stretched out, meaning they were 2 or 3 times than the original mug.

After we found out the area of the non-imposters mouths. We knew Zug was twice as big as mug and bug was 3 times as big as mug. The areas don't follow that rule though. Mugs moth area was 4 units sq., zugs was 16 units sq., and bugs, was 36 units sq. That rule for finding the area is multiply the hight and width and that number is how many times bigger the wump is than the original, mug wump.
