Incorporating art into geometry has been fun, but it’s had its challenges. Many challenges I have faced are getting all the triangles to line up and stick onto my pot. I’m working with different sizes and they not all the time want to work together. I have also faced the problem of how to connect this to the geometric world. I have been through the geometry book countless times and have looked through pages of postulates, theorems, and even lessons. Nothing has really stood out to me, but I eventually found a theorem that I really liked. I finally chose how I could connect it to geometry. I decided to use the SSS and SAS congruence theorems. I think that making this into a visual for students to see will help them remember these theorems. I know I’m a visual learner and I think that we should use more visuals in the learning process. I believe that this RISKy project fulfills the RISK protocol because I am surely reaching outside my comfort zone as I have originally stated above. Making this project intentionally different from everyone else is happening, and I love that we have the ability to use our imagination, it’s not used much in school …show more content…
Keeping track of my thoughts, success, and ideas etc. has been a challenge I do admit because I work here and there and not always elaborate on what I did with my notebook log. It’s also been a challenge for me to find the time with such an occupied schedule, but I’m encouraged to find the time and make this happen as it could help many. I have had many difficulties in this long process of risk taking as I have stated, but the biggest difficulty I have faced was when my whole project had gotten shattered. I put a lot of work in putting my pot together and making it a piece of art only to have it smashed on the floor. Here it is 3 days before the project is due and I now have to create a whole new project and I don’t have time to redo my whole project again. This was by far my biggest complication that I faced during my project, but I have persevered through and made a totally new project that in my opinion didn’t turn out badly just not what I had originally planned to do and that’s okay with me. This is just another way that this project has been a RISK and pushed me beyond my comfort zone. I have tackled all these challenges with the help and support of peers, parents, and even
