Week 17: Using Geometry Outside of Class - Part II

This week closes our topic of discovering Geometry outside of the classroom, and everything afterwards will be preparation for the final exam. As for this week, we got a chance to look closer at the geometric patterns found in both the natural world and the modern world. Take a look at the pictures in this link for many examples of geometric patterns found in nature. For this week's assignment, I want you to be creative. Draw an object using as many geometric properties as possible, but it must be able to be used in our modern world. Make sure to use at least two different geometric properties, and explain what they are under the drawing.

Here is an example of modern housing that utilizes simple polygons in order to

give an appealing atmosphere and appropriate natural lighting.

If you get stuck thinking of ideas, then feel free to browse through this cool stuff. Your ideas do not have to be invented on your own, but provide a source if you are drawing someone else's objects.

This week's goal:

• Further understand how Geometry is used, and how geometric patterns are developed.

Due dates:

• The two drawings and explanations will be due the day of the final exam.
