unit 4: desmos
desmos reflectionFor drawing this image, I had initially began experimenting, which at first was a drawing of the symbol for Pink Floyd. Once I had finished the logo, I had not met the pre requested requirements of at least fifteen lines. The next part of my process for creating this drawing was experimenting. Many of the lines withi. The drawing were found upon discovery while placing in unplanned numbers and functions.
During this project, Desmos helped me understand that when placed on a graph, that function families such as linear or circle functions can be represented through imagery and that when enough functions are put together I. Certain ways. They can be seen as images. |
unit 2: "shadows, similarity, and right triangle trigonometry" reflectionDuring this unit, I have managed to complete a fair amount of assignments which had a fair amount of work placed into it. However, the assignment I feel that I am the most most of homework
|
Unit 3: ReflectionThe content that has been most interesting to me during this unit has been area and volume due to both being content areas that are familiar to me.
Both of these areas have helped me mathematically by extending my current knowledge of finding area and volume of shapes. |
how have pows helped me grow mathematically?
when looking back, I can say that the POWs overall helped me grow mathematically by having me see where math can be seen in the real world while also helping me grow in the area of problem solving and critical thinking.
pow #2: "Pick up trIangles"
POW #2 Write-Up
The Triangle Problem
Kody J
11-20-2014
Geometry
For this POW, we were given two triangles, A and B I'm which fives parts in A (Angles and Sides) shared a congruencey with a part in Triangle B. We then needed to show an example on how then wouldn't need to be congruent. My process began with two triangles with each angle colored, then I began to select two angles and attempt too find a way where they were not congruent (see diagrams) After finding all six combinations, there were two ways that WERE not congruent, (see diagrams 5 and 6). These two were not co grunt because neither matched any of the side angle relationships such as Side Angle Side, Angle Side Angle or Angle Angle Side. During this POW, I believe that I learned how to find a relationship that couldn't work for a triangle. For this POW, I feel that I should get a 25 out of 30 due to me getting help and then again doing the POW.

Burning Tent Lab
Questions
1. When I reached the distance of 10.871, what appeared to be true about the ongoing and outgoing angles to me was that both angles were acute angles as they were also under 45 degrees.
2. Point Camper to Point Tentfire is the shortest path because the camper just shoots over to the Tentfire rather than going both distances of Camper to River and River to Tentfire.
3. The point River should should be at a certain mid section between Camper and Tentfire to reach the smallest distance which is 10.871.

TESSELLATIONs (titan tesselation)
This is my tessellation which did in fact take me a good amount of time to add the detail. Note: Final Form
For this project we made tesselations, which started by drawing and cutting out the tiles. Moving on. We had to begin to tesselation the tiles. Which basically means to repeat the pattern over and over again......until we ran out of paper. We then began to put color into our tesselations, (mine does not have color because by the time we had made/finished. I had a really huge thing against putting color into any art, so that is why it is not colored and remains black and white.). After the fun was done, the "real" fun began when we wrote our write-ups about the project and answering some questions. Is this math or art? Well realistically i can't answer that for anyone but I can answer it for myself. My tesselation felt like it was art rather than math since I don't even recall doing anything Mathematica while making my tesselation or tesselation it. The reason it feels more like art is because if you clearly look at my tesselation, answer this question. Does this look like math to you? To ,e I don't see math and only see a pattern of a Titan that in my case I do not see math involved. HOW I MADE MU TESSELATION So like most people, they had to make a process on how we made our tesselation. But me, well I shall be honest, after I made my desselation, I was thinking "I don't wanna make that again just to show how I made it!" You know why? It was because making that tesselation was rather difficult and I didn't want to make something easy. The process began with me cutting out a parallelogram, which then I moved onto making light marks and then made darker marks until I was satisfied with what my Titan Tile was going to look like. So this was the hard part, cutting it out. The reason why cutting the tile into a tile was difficult was because of the detail on certain parts that I had put in it. But I cut out an edge with an exacto knife which took a while but in the end I managed to do it. After that, I placed the end I'd removed and I attached it to the other end of my half tile which then made my complete Titan tile. |
snail trail lab
This is the snail trail lab.
For this geogebra lab, we made snail trails. (Obviously). We began with plotting a center point in which would be the "brain" of the trails. We then moved onto moving three lines through the point, then made a circle around the point. This then divided the circle into six sections which we placed six different colored points. |
