In geometry, we made stained glass art for our final. First I drew my design on paper, then traced it out onto the glass. The inspiration for my design was to make it unique with many different shapes. The three elements of are that I used were line, space and shape. The three principles of design that I used were repetition, variety and unity. This connects to what I've been learning with proofs because when I was measuring the shapes, it was showing that in parallelograms, the sides were parallel and congruent. This is connected with proofs because when we were showing that the sides and angles were congruent when measuring the shapes. The opposite angles would be congruent and the consecutive angles would be supplementary.
For my project, we had to make an animation or game, and I made a game. We had to put each type of transformation in the game, translation, reflection, rotation, and dilation. To make the translation, the character moved, for reflection, I made the starts reflect, for rotation I made one of the platforms rotate, and for dilation I made the start screen dilate and get smaller. The link to my game is here.
For this activity we took cookies, and cut them into 4 different sized parts. We then measured the angles and arc length of each part. Then we used formulas to find the angles and lengths and compared the measured lengths with the calculated lengths.
For this assignment, we had to design a watter bottle with 2 or more shapes. We had to make it be able to hold 30.5 fl. oz. We used 3d shapes like cylinders, rectangular prisms, or cones.
