For this benchmark we made our rough rough draft for our cake. We also made a chart of toppings that we would be using and if they fell under the category of rotations, reflections, or translations.
Benchmark #2
For this benchmark, we used Geogebra to create our blueprint for rotations, reflections, and translations. We used our original design as a rough draft to make our three new drafts.
Benchmark #3
We put our three blueprints into clear sheets that we could see through. Then we outlined our design on each paper so you could clearly see our ingredients that would be on our pizza/cake.
Benchmark #4
Benchmark number four consisted of actually baking the cake or making the pizza based on our final blueprint. We then had a mini exhibition to show and tell people what we learned during the course of the project.
Benchmark #5
I think this project went pretty well, I had no problems at all. The benchmarks gave me no trouble and they were spaced out fine to where I wasn't stressed at all. During the project I was supposed to learn about reflections, rotations, and translations. It was a very simple project, and I the only reason I could find a reason for having an exhibition explaining it was the fact that we baked something. In my opinion the project was kind of unnecessary , because I didn't feel like I learned anything besides use a new math program which I could probably figure out on my own, because I already knew rotations reflections and translations from previous years. It would of been nice if there was some challenge option maybe, and if there was, why didn't I know about it? But other than that it was a really easy project for me but maybe next time there could be a stronger reason to actually go through with it.
Here's a picture of the my final product, the cake and blueprint during the exhibition.
