I wrote an orgin story for my hero
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 train. 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.
In geometry I am learning about right triangle trigonometry. One way that right triangle trigonometry can be used is to find the height of objects using a clinometer. A clinometer is a tool that is used to measure the angle of elevation, or angle from the ground, in a right triangle. You can use a clinometer to measure the height of tall things that you can’t possibly reach to the top of such as flag poles, buildings, and trees. In my group, I measured the height of The flag pole. Below is a picture of how a clinometer is used.
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 church windows and cool shapes that we wanted to include. The shapes I included in my design were triangles, diamonds, squares, rectangles, and parallelograms. I made sure that my parallelograms abided by the properties of parallelograms which are Opposite sides are parallel. Opposite sides are congruent. Opposite angles are congruent. Same-Side interior angles (consecutive angles) are supplementary Each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent triangles.
