desmos project

Mark  EDUBLOG POST: Process (5 marks)  Score 
5  I clearly described my process, strategies and how I resolved any difficulties I encountered. I correctly Tagged and Categorized my post. I inserted a picture of my desmos post card and the original picture.    
1  My explanation lacks detail and/or I have not described my problem-solving process. The link, desmos picture and/or original picture are missing.  5 
0  I did not complete the Edublog post.   
  Folders (5 marks)   
5  My folders are labelled with parts/objects/letters, and I correctly identified EVERY type of function and relation used.   
2  My folders are labelled with body parts and types of functions used. Some functions are not identified or incorrectly identified.   5 
0  I did not use folders.   
  Image (10 marks)   
10  My drawing resembles the photo I chose   
5  My drawing is starting to look like the photo chosen  5 
1  My drawing is missing or incomplete   
  Aesthetics (10 marks)   
10  Color and shading were used to strategically replicate the picture.    
5  A little shading was used.   1 
1  No thought was put into the use of color or shading   
  Functions & Relations (10 marks)   
10  I used all 10 types of functions/Relations required. Absolute Value, Polynomial, Rational, Radical, Trigonometric, Exponential and Logarithmic, Sideways Parabolas, Semicircles, Ellipses.  6 
x  I used only x of the required types   
  Function notation (30 marks)        
30  I made excellent use of function notation to transform the same function repeatedly     
10  I used function notation a few times to transform the same function repeatedly.  20 
0  I wrote new equations every single time and did not use function notation.   
  Creativity and Complexity of Functions & Relations (30 marks)    
30  My equations show complexity and creativity. I used multiple transformations. (Stretches, Reflections, Translations, Inverses). I made excellent use of domain and/or range restrictions. I combined functions from different units.   30 
15  I used mostly the same type of functions, with some transformations. My functions sometimes overlap because I could not figure out the correct domain and/or range.    
10  My equations lack complexity and creativity.   
  Total mark:

  1. I decide what functions to use based on how  much the line curved. If the line curved for example on the outline I would use something like a parabola while if the line was straight I was use a constant or linear function
  2. Yes I dealt with challenges. One of the biggest challenges was getting the restrictions perfect. I had to spend a lot of time changing the restrictions one minuscule number at a time. The other challenge was time as while doing this project I got very sick and was not able to work on this project for over three weeks. The other challenge was doing the mouth. It had tons of small curves which were challenging
  3. The only Aha moment I had was when I figured out how to do sideways parabolas. Doing the side of the outline with just regular parabolas was impossible. Sideways parabolas made things much easier
  4. Other than my table mates I did not get help
  5. My strategy was to start with the outline of the logo and then work my way into the middle. In my project you can see there are four sets of lines next to each other for most of the project I’d do one then do the next closest line until the most inner line connected to the zigzags in the middle.
  6. This assignment helped me remember and memorize how all these functions looked and moved. For example when I was doing a parabola function and I wanted my curve to be wider I would have to guess is it 2x that makes it wider or is it 1/2x that makes it wider? Now I know that off the top of my head without thinking about it.

My updated edublog

This year I am excited for multiple things one of those things being are the people. This is my last year at riverside which means my last year with all these people and there is a good chance that I never see 75% of these people ever again. I will enjoy my last few months at this school with people who in the near future will become strangers. Another reason that I am excited is intermurals. I am a big sports guy so  intermurals I think I will enjoy.  Right now I am participating in basketball intermurals.       

 

Theme park

For this project my group and I did a theme park on the book fight club. I did a couple of things for this project. I designed and completely made the map and layout of the theme park as well as the legend and explain the significance and reason behind it. I also had to quickly write something for one of my group members to say as he had nothing written down to present. Finally the last thing that I did was explain the significance of our merchandise. My group member couldn’t explain it so I explained it instead.
