For this project, I used translations that I learned in this class to make my very own game/stop motion. The video you see to the left is the animated version of my video game. The goal of my game was to help myself understand translations more and learn how to apply it to things outside of regular math work. Reflections, dilations, rotations, and translations were used in order to complete my game. It was important to know the different translations to complete this project. Reflections mean to reflect over an axis, dilations means to change the size of the shape, rotations mean to rotate around an axis, and regular translations mean to move left, right, up, or down.

In World History I learned about religion and the history of stained glass. Stained glass was invented as early as the 7th century. Stained glass dates back to the roman empire when craftsmen used color glass to decorate wares. In medieval times, stained glass was known as the “poor man's bible” because it was used to instruct illiterates in the sculptures. Stained glass begins with Pliny's tale of the accidental discovery of glass by Phoenician sailors. Over time, stained glass was used for cups and even windows. Especially in churches. When using stained glass you use green when you represent growth and rebirth, life over death. When stained glass was used in churches it was to enhance their beauty or for symbolism. 

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 the different shapes we learned about. Also, we were inspired by a rainbow for it's colorful look. The shapes I included in my design were parallelograms, triangles, rectangles, rhombus, and squares. 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 are supplementary, each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent triangles, and the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

For this assignment, we had to measure the radius, diameter, circumference, and different angles of a cookie. Which my specific cookie was a frosted white cookie:).  I learned that the total length of the 4 sectors of the cookie was 13.2cm^2.  It also does not compare to the area of the cookie. They are far in numbers from each other.

For this presentation, my partner and I collected data to figure out what ranges of age want to raise or lower the legal drinking age.
