Arts and Crafts 12

Sydney on

I can use my imagination to get new ideas of my own, or build on others’ ideas, or combine other people’s ideas in new ways.

In the book binding assignment I used my creative thinking to come up with a notebook that contains aspects that the original outline did not contain. I thought outside the box to plan an artifact that was based off the assignment structure. By using the original idea to construct a notebook with lined pages by printing out double sides horizontal lines and cutting them in half in place of folding the pages. I then punched holes evenly spaced out to make a spiral spine using wire from the craft cabinet. I followed the book binding instructions to attach my fabric to the particle board and added more holes. I then used embroidery skills to add some roses and my name. This demonstrates my ability to elaborate on the original template and build on the ideas to express my own form of art, designing something more personal to me.

Personal Health & Awareness

Sydney on

To celebrate an accomplishment such as a touch down I griddy. Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle include taking my dog on long walks, playing games with her outside and eating healthy when possible. I enjoy playing lacrosse as well because it helps me get my mind off things and stay active.

I work with others to achieve a goal when we huddled before a play and strategized our next move. We all communicated our thoughts and succeeded when we used the play.

I take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share by participating in all PE activities.

I encourage others to share their voices and value diverse perspectives when playing a sport I let everyone have a chance and listen to others ideas.

Linear and Non-Linear Equations

Sydney on

Linear Equations

2x-3y=12 This is a linear equation because on the graph it is a one to one function and in the equation you can see it falls under the “Ax+By=C” category.
x=4 This is a linear equation because on the graph the line goes straight up and down and the equation shows there’s no other number conflicting with x.

Non-Linear Equations

 
 This is not a linear equation because on the graph the end lines connect and in the equation two squared is the formula for a circle.
y=(x+1)(x-1) This is a non linear equation because the graph doesn’t pass the horizontal test and the equation uses brackets.

Self Assessment

I explored mathematical ideas using technology when I typed in my equation to the demos website and had a visual representation of it in the form of a graph.

I analyzed data and used criteria to draw conclusions when I saw how the graph formulated the equation showing whether or not it was suitable for this assignment.

I justified my conclusion with evidence when I used my knowledge to examine the graph and wrote supporting details.
