My 12 year old wrote this as a math project and I just thought I would share it….

 

Centroid Axiom Pi

Yep, that’s my name…CAP for short. My name means center rule ‘approximately’ three (as I made the third in our family, but I was little so I wasn’t a whole number). I sometimes go by my alias which is Miss Hazel (not real fancy or mathy huh?). My dad calls my Mom a prime number, not sure what that means, but my mom blushes when he calls her that – I think it means she is special. My mom is named Value Perfect Number, an excellent name since she is very positive, actually the absolute value (no negative) of all of us and dad, Congruent Polygon, (actually a pretty good name too, since he has equal sides of nice and tough) formed me and we became an acute triangle - we are very close, always closer than 90 degrees. One day, someone knocked on our door, I call her THE DEMON. Her real name is Mode. Another excellent name since she is most frequently annoying on average, but eventually she became my sidekick, as well as my sister. Together our family makes a good product, since we are more than just integers, together we are exponents of 4. We have no other human like demons in our house on Jupiter which is located by the coordinates of Springville, our base home, in the Milky Way System where the temperature is -100 degrees or at least in that range ( give or take 5 degrees). That is not even close to a quadrant (or ¼) of the entire universe, but is still really big.

Now to tell you a little bit about me. While a super hero (at least a girl super hero) never likes to tell her weight, my mass is about 46 Kilograms and my length (when I am on the couch- which is a lot) is about 1.5748 meters, about that tall when I stand too. I have a good fashion sense. I’m very kind. I have a strong moral compass meaning that I understand the boundaries and direction for my life as a hero. Like every good hero, I have some weakness which are: 1) my math answers are best done with a calculator (that is when my sidekick comes in handy – she is good at math), not having a large circumference, I’m not always able to battle large enemies, and I don’t listen very well. My hobbies are: sewing, reading (for “fun of course”), drawing, and spending time with my grandmother (who is the one who got me into sewing). My day job as a cosmetologist on Jupiter is busy doing makeup, nails, and hair. One of my favorite things is to watch UTube videos about hair, make up tutorials, or nails.

On my planet, and around the universe, there are villains. The ones that cause me the most pain are: Algebra (I call her X for short), Axis (like in “of evil” and straight) and Least Common Denominator (he is the lowest of the lows).

 My BFFs are Miss Protractor (she knows all of the angles on how to do stuff), Mr. Median, just your average, everyday middle of the road guy and Coefficient –sorta the leader of our group sense she always is in front of the rest of us. If you ask them to describe me in 3 words they would say weird, loveable, and funny. The main reason they would say that is that I have many variables, because mostly I just change my mind (and my clothes) a lot. The thing I like best about them is neither one evaluates me.

 
Being a super hero is not really that tough. If you take away all the differences of the bad and simply add up all of the good things we do, the sum is really easy to calculate and really is the greatest common factor for all of us: DO ALL THE GOOD YOU CAN, BY ALL THE MEANS YOU CAN, IN ALL THE WAYS YOU CAN, IN ALL THE PLACES YOU CAN, AT ALL THE TIMES YOU CAN, TO EVERYONE YOU CAN. A GOOD QUOTE, EVEN IF MY DAD DID HELP ME FIND IT.!
