In geometry I applied transformations by designing a video game with 3 levels. After designing my video game, I turned the video game into an animation. The goal of my game was to reach the end, to get the toxic waste, without Hazmat Man running into any obstacles. In order to complete my game, translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations had to be used. It was important throughout the process that we remembered the differences for each transformation. Translations are when the character slides, rotation is when the character rotates or turns, dilation is when the character changes size, and reflection is when the character reflects over an axis.

In Geometry I learned about the properties of parallelograms and used the properties to design a piece of stained glass. The inspiration for my stained glass was a more modern, symmetrical and neat look. The shapes I included in my design were squares, rectangles, triangles, trapezoids, parallelograms, and a rhombus. I made sure that my parallelograms abided by the properties of parallelograms which are opposite sides are parallel and congruent, opposite angles are congruent, consecutive angles are supplementary, and diagonals bisect each other.
