Making The Right Decision

INTRODUCTION

   Long time no blog everybody. We've been spending 3 weeks on our passion projects and I think that's 24 hours all in all. If you don't know what's my passion project, I'm going to say it again, it's Maths Craft. The question is... was it worth it to choose?

   To have an update and have ideas to what we are doing in our Maths Craft, here's the link to our maths craft website. You are going to see there come students making some amazing crafts and the resources we've used for our project. I could say we have done many things for those three weeks. I've already mentioned Menger Sponge and Mobius Strip as examples. That's not all. There are fun, cool, and interesting activities we completed. 

   Here are some photos (google) of some we did:

Origami

Meanders

String Art

What are they?

Flexagons- these are 2d shapes that are folded or 'flexed' and will show different faces

Here's a video of me flipping a flexagon

String Art- the name says it all guys. Basically, you use string or wool to produce or create amazing shapes or  anything,

In this area, you can use the power of parabola. As you can see beneath this texts, there is the diamond shaped and triangle string art where I applied parabola producing these amazing crafts.

Examples of my work on this activity

Origami-  this is pretty much the most popular one. The iconic paper folding that will form into something creative like the cube above, cranes, animals, flowers and etc.

Meanders-  we discussed that this art is related to many things not only in math but also in our environment and in ancient times. Meanders are patterns just like this:

If you are familiar with transformations in maths like translation, rotation, and reflection, then you got this.

REFLECTION ( of the overall project, not the kind of transformation)

    

   Joining this project was the right decision for me. I am enjoying it. They let me do what I want to do for my final craft in this project. My pursuit for this passion project is really big. The effort I am lending for my passion is worth it. Yes, is the answer to the question in my intro part. It is worth it to be picked. And I am happy selecting maths craft as my passion project.
