Project Star

You have studied a few number theory concepts such as number sequences, multiples, factors and greatest common factor. Beautiful stars can be created using number sequences. Project Star will require you to draw at least eight (N,S) Stars. N represents the number of points on a circle and S represents the steps or skips to the next point on the circle. A path begins at a number and returns to that number. A star is complete when you have drawn a line from each point on the circle.

Project Requirements

1. Turn the Project in on Time

2. Draw 8 different (N,S) Stars

3. Display your stars neatly on a poster with title “Project (N, S) Stars. Your name must be at the bottom lower right.

4. Each star must be labeled with its name (N,S) Star.

5. Number the points on each circle. The points should be evenly distributed. (Use protractor to measure degrees between points)

6. State the number of paths used to create the star.

7. State the sequence of each path used to create the star.

8. Each star must be colored with crayons or markers.

9. There is a relationship between each stars name and the number of paths it takes to create the star. State that relationship in a complete sentence.
