Tessellation
For my tessellation project, I decided to do a mountain piece because it was simple and had a good design. I first started with a square paper template and cut peak-shaped pieces in the top of the square. Then I used the template to trace on to a draft. until there were no more spaces. After that, I added color and design to the tessellation. I added mountains, trees that tessellate right side up and upside down, and added a stream to the bottom of each tile. The tiles are transformed positively along the y axis.
POW: Chess Problem
This POW was to solve a problem that was inspired by the knight pieces on a 3 by 3 chess board. The objective was to get the white pieces switched with the black pieces on either sides of the board. I was able to complete this in 16 moves. though it can be done in less. I even thought that rotating the board 180 degrees counted as "less than 4 moves" but it was not an acceptable way to complete this problem.
Burning Tent Lab
The burning tent lab was a scenario where there's a burning tent on a camping trip and you're trying to find the fastest route to a lake. The tent, lake and your location are plotted on a linear geogebra sheet. The class worked in partners of two and the purpose was to learn about linear equations in a visual, hands on way.
Snail Trail Lab
The snail trail lab was focused on making designs out of simple shapes. First, a simple circle was made in geogebra. Then, mid point line segments were made to form triangle like sections in the circle. Afterwards, color coded rings were added to each triangle to designate the sections. Lastly, the lines were hidden so that the rings could be dragged and create symmetrical designs on the sheet.
