My Anamorphic 3-D Drawing Project
Anamorphic is creating a shape that is seen as one perfect shape but from any other angle they are distorted. If you look at YouTube user VamosART’s drawings, they look normal in one angle and malformed in another. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc2Hf07lw2s
For my anamorphic drawing I used glass, a box, a pencil, beads, Sharpie, poster board, and colored pencils. I first got my glass and box and set the glass in the box, and started to draw the points on the paper. I then drew the lines connecting the points on the paper. After I drew out the lines I drew over them in sharpie. I then got my colors and colored the shape.
When you put your glass in the box and you stay in one place and with a laser pointer or verbal commands and have another person mark down all of the points, once you lined up all of the pints and they are all perfect, that is when you can start connecting the dots. But that is what makes an anamorphic drawing a projection.
My original drawing was a celtic knot, and since it was so intricately woven, it was too difficult to accomplish successfully, in the time we had, and so I changed our drawing to something simpler. I had difficulties with my partner because we changed it the day before it was due, and I was the one who started and finished it. I overcame the obstacle of working with a friend who did not want to do their share in the project, by just doing it myself with some other friends to help when I needed it.

TEA Paragraph: First Semester Reflection
As a student at Animas High School we are challenged every day academically and one of my greatest challenges is Geometry this year. I had a rough start and didn’t quite understand the content fully, and tried to guess the content. When I would do the test corrections I would get them right and I would wonder why I wasn’t doing better in class. That’s when I decided that I needed to get more help in class, and when I took action of that I saw my grades go up. Even though Geometry may be my hardest class this year, I am going to strive to have an exceptional grade next semester by advocating and persevering through my problems.
Hexaflexagon
In my Hexaflexagon, there are a total of four sides to it, but my favorite side is the orange and blue side. I like this one so much because it doesn't look like the others and is somewhat original.
If I had the chance, I would get a compass and do more circles in my Hexaflexagon. My designs are very boring and not have diversity. And if I had more circles to make it more complex, than I would be happier with my product. The Hexaflexagon rotates so that patterns match and you need to pay very close attention to where you are putting your designs other wise it will look really unprofessional.
I learned that I really enjoy doing patterns and coloring them in, and being able to create something really complex.
Two Rivers Geogebra Lab
In this investigation we discovered the minimum sum of the two distances from a point to two lines.
This picture where you would want to build your house to get the shortest distance within the constraints given. We had to find he shortest distance to the rivers, but be outside of the five mile radius of the sewage plant.
Burning Tent Geogebra Lab
In this investigation we determined the shortest two-part path to help a camper put out a fire based on the problem scenario described.
In the picture above is not what you would want to do to get the shortest distance from you camper to the tent fire, with making a stop at the river. You are not going anywhere near the tent fire and you are not helping putting out the fire either.
In the picture above, is what you would want to do. This route gives you the least amount of time to get there and efficiently, you are going to be able to help the tent fire out.
We made two points (tent fire, and camper) after we made a line named river. We then chose a random spot on the line and then created a point from camper to river and from river to tent fire. We then measured the two lines, and them made an angle of those two lines. After that we reflected tent fire overto make tent fire' and then we created a line

The geometric concepts that are used in this mini project are rotate object about line, line through two objects, circle through two points, and reflection of line. These all helped me figure out how to make this snail trail and I successfully did so and now I understand geometry better than I did before this mini project.
