DesmosSignitureMath10FPC20XX

May23

When doing my desmos I first decided to use bigger numbers so I wouldn’t have to use decimals. I also decided to use an even number for spacing so one block between each letter and 4 blocks for width and 8 blocks for height. I also decided to do block letters so it wasn’t too simple and you could see it more clearly. I used black and blue for the colors since those are my two favorite colors, and I used the dotted lines to give it more of a design. With the equations I started by doing the horizontal and vertical lines first since those are the easier equations, and then moved on to the angled ones. I tried doing a curve line for the D but I didn’t quite get it to be perfectly aligned with the x and y axis so I just made straight lines. The L, A, and the “I” went the fastest since I got the hang of it pretty quickly. Using larger numbers was a great decision since I only came across a few decimals but they were easy enough o work with and I could zoom in to see the exact coordinates. This was a fun project and it was challenging but fun at the same time.

Math 10- Flag pole Lab

Feb23

Today we did a flag pole lab where we used tools like a clinometer to measure the angle of our eyesight which was tricky because the wind was so strong today so we had to wait until the string stopped moving. We used a meter stick to measure our eyesight how tall our eyes are from the ground. We also used a trundle wheel to measure how far we stood from the flagpole we measured in the middle of the concrete slab to the tips of my shoes and we used the line on the concrete to go as straight as possible.  We then drew a detailed sketch of all our sides and angles and then used SOH CAH TOA to figure out the height of the flagpole. We ended up using TOA since we do not know the hypotenuse. We used trigonometry to help us be as precise as possible. We then compared with other groups to see who was the most accurate and why. We saw that the closest group had 46 degrees. We had to use our communication skills to help each other out to be as accurate as possible.

 

 

Trailer Project Poster- Reflection

Jan5

While making my poster, I focused on the main character and all her characteristics along with the mood and atmosphere of the story. I was trying to use vibrant colors to appeal to the eye. For my quote, I wanted to use a tagline that would give you a hint as to what the story is about and the hook. I added our group members’ names and what each one of us did to the billing block. I tried to use a new editing app (Pixomatic) and I think it went really well I like the shadowing and the fonts it had. I also tried to blur the background so that the roses and letters be the main focus point.  I also added the title in a big vibrant font so it was easy to see and remember. I proofread it to make sure there were no spelling or grammar mistakes. I could have done better by adding a double-exposure image and blending that into the poster. Our trailer also did pretty well and my group members all participated and contribute in some way. Overall liked this project and it was fun to make and try new ways to edit and put a poster together. I feel like this is a fun project that I would enjoy doing in the future.
