as the semester draws to a close we have been asked to show some of the work we have done this year. they are parametric equations, angles and rotations, and graphs. here is some of the work we have done
to find the center of rotation, you have to have very accurate lines to start with. if the lines Slice-form project in this project we had to use our math skill that we learned to create a picture of some kind. my partner and I created a turtle that was standing on a rock. our shape had to include a 90 degree angle, a circular shape, and had to cover up more then half of a page that we first were drawing them on. were the feet met the rock there were about four 90 degree angles and we used the head as the circular shape. we had to calculate the area of the first 3D prism that was wrapped in plastic covering by breaking it down into other shapes like rectangles, triangles, and trapezoids, we also had to find the volume as well as the surface area. as soon as we finished that we had to start drawing the slices on normal paper using the equations we found earlier. When those slices were drawn we copied them onto card stock paper which is a thicker paper that won't be as flimsy as normal paper. We then cut slits not slices in the paper so it would not bend as easy, then we assembled the shape into a turtle. I liked this project mostly because it was different. I enjoy building things and even though this was a small project it took a lot to get everything assembled and it even got to the point I thought it wouldn't be finished by exhibition in fact we had to use a previous slice form we had made for its head because some of the pieces weren't going to work. Although the project was challenging my partner and I were able to work well together which did make things much easier to do. |
