PROJECTS AND PICTURES

Create Your Own Geometry

For this project you are going to create your own book of geometry. You are going to create a story using If-Then statements and illustrations.

q You must have at least 8 pages for the story. This does not include a cover, or any other supplemental pages.

q Each page must have some type of picture or drawing.

q Each page must have a complete If-Then statement.

q The book must be kept together using some type of binding.

q Cover: Give a name to the geometry you have created. Put your name, date, and the class period on this page. Decorate the cover page using computer graphics, drawings, colored pens, markers, etc.

q Suggestions: Make it look as much like a real book as possible, copyright, publisher, dedication, page numbers, editor, BE CREATIVE!!!

Please type (use the word processor) your project. Neatness and creativity will be part of the grading system. This project is worth 64 points, SO if you need help on this project come in and ask. This project is due FRIDAY, September 30, 2005. NO LATE PROJECTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Algebra 2 Fall Picture Project

Here is a project, which will show your skills with lines, and it should be fun, too.

On a sheet of graph paper, draw x- and y- axes that will fill the entire page.
Number these axes.
Draw a fall picture on these axes, using ONLY straight lines. Make it interesting! Be creative! Use color as appropriate!
Not more than 1/3 of your lines may be vertical or horizontal.
You must have a minimum of 12 lines. More, of course, are encouraged, but don’t go overboard.
On a separate sheet of lined paper, write the equation of each line that appears in “your” picture.
Be sure to identify the part of the picture represented by that line.
Also, you must state the domain of that line (i.e. –3 < x < 4), that is x goes from where to where. (Use an inequality.) For vertical lines you will find the range, that is y goes from where to where.
You equations may be in any simplified form.
Neatness counts

You will turn in the graph paper with the face and the pages on which you have written all the equations and this paper with the rubric.

This project is due on Tuesday October 11, 2005. Which gives you about 1 week to do it. No excuses will be accepted! You may hand in this project early if you choose (But, no extra points). The project is worth 64 points.

FLOOR PLAN--GEOMETRY AREA AND

PERIMITER

Dear Ms. Sauder’s B Algebra 1 classes,

I am so confused! I understand you are an authority on area and perimeter. I spoke with your Basic Algebra 1 teacher and she assured me that you would be able to help me. My parents just bought new furniture. They call it “modern” but if you ask me, it is simply odd!

They want this furniture in their rectangular living room, and they put me in charge of designing the floor plan. The room is 43 ft by 32 ft. I have enclosed sketches of the furniture pieces with their respective measurements. I must apologize because my sketches are not drawn to scale. I also enclosed a sheet of graph paper for you to use to draw your final floor plan. I drew an outline of the living room on the graph paper in which each square represents 1 square foot. All these numbers mean nothing to me!

I appreciate your attention to this matter. In response to my letter, I need the following:

1. A letter of reply which states your findings. This letter must contain the following:

a) The amount of carpet I need to cover the floor.

b) The shape, perimeter, and area of each piece of furniture.

c) The formulas you used to determine the area of each piece.

d) A list of pieces that will fit in the room. I hope they all will!

2. A suggested floor plan.

I need the letter and floor plan no later than October 7, 2005. You may leave pieces of furniture out of the floor plan if they do not fit. However, you must include the TV! I need the formulas you used to find the area of each shape just in case I have to downsize certain pieces that do not fit. To do this, I need to know how to figure the areas for myself. I really wish I was in your math class. Thanks again for all your help.

Sincerely,

Confused Connie
