Spring Break Project/Reflection
1. How does this relate to the standard?
The standard for this project is 7.EE.B.4.b which is to solve real world problems that lead to solving inequalities, graph a set of inequalities' solution & interpret what they mean. This relates to the standard because I applied all of these things to my project. In the project I had to find the different areas & circumferences using pi. Then later on I had to make a graph about it.
2. What are the steps you took to complete & do well on this assignment.
The steps I took to complete & do well on this assignment were that first I had to complete my work in the worksheet we got. The worksheet actually took me some time to do it & it was very difficult for me to do at first but then I realized that it was because I was doing it wrong. Once I went back & fixed my mistakes, I started planning everything & decorating the poster. Then later on it was finally finished.
3. This assignment demonstrates the following strengths...
This assignment demonstrates I have the ability of finding the area of a circle using the formula the correct formula. As well as finding the circumference of a circle using only the diameter or the radius if either of those were provided.
4. I could have improved on this assignment by......
I could have improved on this assignment by not procrastinating & waiting to do it to the last minute. I also could have been more creative & added more art to the poster. This time I had a Pink & blue poster so it wasn't as hard as my "Go Big Papa" poster to make the contrast in colours. I believe that would of helped it look nice as well.
5. How will you apply the skills you learned from this assignment in either the real world when you are an adult or in other classes when you are still a student?
Now that I have learned this I believe I can apply it to my future job, (hopefully). When I grow up I want to be an automotive engineer. But I want to go to be a full automotive engineer. That means that I have to study almost everything that is necessary to create a car. When I design a car, I would have to make it obviously on a grid smaller than it would actually be in real life. But once I start building it, I would have to know the dimensions of the car & eventually if I am trying to put in a part in the car, I have to know it is the right size. By that I mean that the areas must be the same. For example if I am going to locate the rear view mirrors to where they go, as in like if i wanna put the glass in, I have to make sure that the area of the rear view mirror is the same as where it is going to go because if it is too big it won't fit & if it is too small, the cables behind it won't quite have the space needed. Therefor it has to be the exact. I also plan on redesigning other cars after I have learned to become a full automotive engineer. I say this because if I am going to restore & redo an old police car, I can use circumference. You might be asking yourself how, then again, I can use it on the rear view mirrors. The police cars, or at least the old ones have the regular rear view mirrors then on the front they have like small, round rear view mirrors. I can use the formula to find circumference on this because if I wanna take the car apart & redo it, I am going to need the measurements of how big the glass is to make it a cover that will surround the glass & protect the wires from the harmful things that are found outside.
