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 help the people in Egypt. 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. A translation is when you move from left to right or up or down on the x or y axis.  A reflection is a flip of a shape over the y and x axis. A rotation is when the shape can move around the 4 quads up to 280 degrees on the y and x axis. Last, a dilation is when the shapes are the same but one of the shapes is smaller or bigger.

In World History I learned about religion and the history of stained glass. Stained glass was accidentally found by Egyptians. Glass-making in Ancient Egypt began with quartz pebbles together with the ashes of burnt plants. The Small pieces of the mineral would be finely crushed and mixed. The quartz-ash mixture was then heated at fairly low temperatures in clay containers to roughly 750° C until it turned into a glassy blob. The earliest form of stained glass known to man is the form of Egyptian beads from 2750 and 2625 BC. Around the first century AD, glass started being used for windows.

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 Christmas theme because it's my favorite holiday. The shapes I included in my design were parallelogram, triangle, square, and rhombus. I made sure that my parallelograms abided by the properties of parallelograms which are opposite sides are parallel & congruent. opposite angles are congruent. consecutive angles are supplementary and diagonals are bisect.

For this activity, we measured a cookie to find the sector area and the arc length using a protractor and yarn.  After we got the measurements, we then used the formula for sector area and arc length. We compared each measurement and later ate the cookie.
