home hey Caroline what time is it I

don't know well what does your watch say

tick tock tick tock

[Music]

I'm Rachel and I'm 12 years old I'm from

Berkeley California and I love

climbing been climbing for about 6

years it's really challenging for your

mind and your body and it requires a lot

of strength and a lot of thinking for

me I climb anywhere even my house house

is a great place to

climb I try and climb up all all the

beds in the house

climb the picture frames climb

anything this is called the main wall

it's the biggest wall in the gym it's a

little harder it's a little steeper it's

a little

longer this is the harness this is where

I tie in my rope between these two

Loops it keeps me

suspended this is the chalk bag my hands

get sweaty while I'm climbing can reach

my hand and get some chalk and this is

Scott he's the climbing coach he's going

to keep me safe that way bling Cooling

in the rope and then letting it out when

I come

[Music]

down you always have to be in the right

position it's like playing on a chest

board my eyes are always looking

everywhere they're looking up see what's

coming looking down see my feet are

making sure they're on the route you

want to be able to feel rock as much as

possible these shoes s of let you do

that sort of grip it sort of the closest

things to Barefoot that you can get for

climbing this is taking a little

work climbing like this inside is fun

it's good for training but it's really

all working up to outside which is it's

the real rock this is fake this is

plastic outside is

[Music]

real you're on the way

Rachel I'm sort of short for my age and

although people might think that it's

better if you're taller so you can reach

more holds for me I can fit into smaller

places and I can I have smaller hands

which can fit into really tiny holes I

can stem my feet out into little places

yeah right to your left there's a good

handle Rachel I always try and think to

The Next Step I'm always trying to be

trying to be one step ahead of

myself

climbing I'll keep moving around moving

my hands moving my feet trying

everything I can until I find something

I never give up on a ro and I might get

really tired my arms start hurting my

legs start hitting but I always try my

hardest to get to the

top this is a lot easier and less scary

for me than any sports like basketball

or soccer or volleyball and I like being

alone up on the Rock and being able to

think all by myself there's sort of a

sense of peacefulness up there all I'm

climbing Zoom will resume after this

important

message fing BL

wubble dby

ubit wubo oh my f gry

[Music]

come z

boobs and now back to

[Music]

zoom Barbara W of Brooklyn New Hampshire

sent us this challenge four people are

going to the movies how many different

ways can they sit next to each other The

Zo s are wearing letters so it makes it

easier for us to keep track okay guys so

what do you think it's going to be how

many different ways I think I think 20

because it's not a real big number and

it's not a real small number so it's

kind of like right in the middle so do

you want us to write these predictions

down you show like the first letter of

every name yeah okay cuz we each have

what do you how come cuz it's just seems

like a little bit over the middle just

like almost saage a little bit of a lot

but it's a lot of a little bit Yeah OK

do Caroline's was 20 yep 20 yep 20 I

think 32 because I think that there

could be eight different ways of us

moving around then that times

four thank you I'll put like a little

Dash to your so look okay I think

there's going to be 48 48 why well

because if you think about it each

person can sit in 12 different seats

like in 12 different positions and since

there's four of us four of us * 12

equals 48 so almost like mine

multiplication you guys ready to um try

test so I think maybe Ray should stay

the same and then okay stay the same for

a second and then me and Zoe should

twist and then so this is the first way

ABCD a b c d okay

a b b

c

[Music]

d i get it me and Jessica switch a b d c

oh oh yeah a b d c then what if we have

KN sitting here and then you guys could

switch now do a d AC b d b d b d

y a c b d a d b c do D stayed in the

same place right oh the D look so

happy this is one I see yeah and then

and then

zo then it's a I think we should move

Ray cuz we' get well no we can just

multiply him yeah oh yeah we can use him

multiply it hey Ray hey Ray okay so

there's one two 3 four five six possible

A's 6 * 4 so there would be 1 2 3 4 5

six A's so if like Caroline set and race

spot there would be six so you want to

write down six set set just write six

B's down yeah one two come along with me

three

4

five

six and then you could do this you could

just be like replace all the B's with

A's like for example this would have to

be a b and an a right here down here so

it' be b a c d b a d

c c d a like that so it's going to be

the same replace all these with a yeah

and same thing with like a c so so you

want to write them all down and see yeah

yeah

sure okay guys I wrote down all the

possibilities and this is how many we

have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 11 12 13 14

15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 oh wow we

have 24 possibilities for you guys to

sit next to each other in different ways

hey I was only 24 off Caroline I think

Caroline came the

closest why do you think you came that

close Caroline I didn't want it to be so

high because it's just a guess yeah I

put 32 down because I thought there

would be eight different ways that we3

could move around but um and then I

multiplied that by four but then the

real way you could do it is we change

this like the first letter four times

and then this one three times and then

these two so then you could do 4 * 3 * 2

and youd get 24 cool oh yeah good way

that's cool so if you have any other

challenges that use numbers to solve

problems send them to

zoom the math test

a poem by Cheryl G of Brooklyn New York

I once had a math test and it was no fun

I couldn't wait till it was done the

hours passed tick tick tick I hoped the

time for the test would be quick finally

[Music]

wellow tjr of Kirksville Missouri sent

in an email telling us that he wants to

find out if kids backpacks are always

heavier in certain days of the week to

find an answer to his question he's

going to take five kids and have them

weigh their backpacks daily for five

days we thought this would be a good

thing to do on Zoom hey Ray how is your

backpack I don't know pretty heavy

though whoa big backpack all right let's

find out okay first we're going to weigh

away with his backpack on take a step on

the

scale 141 141 y That's

141 okay now we're going to weigh Ray

without his backpack off all right hi

your backpack so big really

big one

21 who 121 it's pretty now we're going

to subtract it all right 141 minus 141 -

121 = 20 20 lb wow big backpack whoa

okay I have a lot of stuff in now we're

going to fill in the chart all right

let's say you're in sixth grade yeah

that's

good now we know you're a boy yeah

yay and it's Monday well let's say it's

Monday at least we say it's Monday and

your backpack weighs 20 lb

today 20

lb why do you think your backpack's so

heavy on today I I don't know well let's

see I just got to finish with my weekend

homework and you know it's really packed

so and I have my textbook and my binders

so I can see why it weighs 20 lbs what

day do you think your bag would be the

heaviest probably on Friday Friday I

think because cuz on Friday you know I'm

all set to go out after school because I

don't want to have to go all the way

back home to get you know a skateboard

or some roller blades to go out with my

friends so I'll bring it on my backpack

and I have the leg my backpack to school

and

everybody here's how you can be a part

of the zoom backpack challenge weigh

your backpack for 5 days in a row Monday

through Friday do it each day as soon as

you get home from school record the

weight what grade you're in and whether

you're a boy or a girl this way we can

find out if backpacks are heavy on

certain days of the week if kids in some

grades carry heavier backpacks than

others or if the weight of the backpack

is related to whether you're a boy or

girl then send your backpack data to

zoom at box 350 Boston Mass 02134 or to

the zoom website at ww. pbs.org there

you can see other kids backpack data

we're going to look at this later on

Zoom to find some answers to our

backpack

no more math written and illustrated by

Daniel P of Corpus Christie

Texas once there was a boy named Brian

he hated math and didn't like to do his

math homework he did not understand what

was so important about math until he had

a dream he dreamed that math did not

exist there were no speed limits on the

streets and cars were crashing stores

could not operate because people did not

know how much money to bed people were

poor because the president did not know

how many coins and bills to make Brian

liked sports but in his dream there were

no Sports because people did not know

how many players they needed how much

equipment was needed and what time to be

at the games Farmers did not know how

many bags of seeds to plant or how long

it took to grow food so there was never

enough food to eat Brian was so scared

that he woke up he was all sweaty the

next day at school it was was a

different story he knew why math was

important the
