Name of Assignment: Using Transformations As An Architect Subject: Geometry Facilitator/Teacher: Ms. Marsh
Description of Work/Assignment: For this assignment we (group of 3) had to create a complex of apartments using Transformations (Reflections, Translations, Rotation, and Dilations). We made a floor plan and traced it onto tracing paper.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? : I feel like this was a project that addresses the Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy 21st century skill. This project addresses this 21st century skill because part of this project was to find how much would be the monthly rent cost. I looked up all the houses and apartments to see how expensive or the type of people that would be living there. Then, I ended up with a range of $2100 to $2800 monthly rent.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? : The thing I am most proud of from this assignment is that we chose my apartment design to use for the whole floorplan/project.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? : I developed my 21st century skill by first off, searching up the definition of financial and economic. I basically, just got to learn the basics of what this 21st century skill is and it's because I've never really used this skill before.
What was most difficult about completing this task? : One of the most difficult things was finding out where we would put this apartment building. It was also finding the monthly rent that was pretty hard to figure out (a lot of researching).
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different? : I could improve this project by taking more time and putting in more effort to make sure that we were doing things right.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? : This relates to when I used to do work last minute. Things were rushed so, some information wasn't right. But for this project it wasn't information, it was the hallways on the floorplan.
How can you apply this to future learning? : I can apply this to the future by making sure that things are the way it should be and to be observant when it comes to things like these.
