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 get bubbles to the end. 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 move from left to right or up and down across the graph. Rotations rotate clockwise and counter clockwise across the graph. Reflections reflect across the y and x-axis. Lastly, Dilations make the figure smaller or bigger.
In World History I learned about religion and the history of stained glass. We learned the ways different religions incorporate stained glass. The religion I focused on was Hinduism. 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 Tree. The shapes I included in my design were triangles, squares, rectangles, rhombus,trapezoid, and a star. 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, consecutive angles are supplementary, diagonals bisect each other
