Cody's reflections:
I came up with the idea
of making a Pac Man that is being fed by an orange and the orange is the object
that is following the projectile motion and following the path of a parabola.
This is a neat project, i like the fact that we need to make a drawing.
Everything is going good so far. The only problem i had was to create the min
and max of each slider but i just continued to do trial and error and it
worked.
I am now almost done
all the requirements of the geogebra except for the success failure feature! I
have created a text box saying "Yay you helped feed the Pac Man" but
i want this text only to appear when the orange goes inside the mouth of the
Pac Man also i was wondering if i could make the orange dissapear when it is in
the yelow part of the Pac Man these are two things i would like to add to my
geogebra im pretty sure there is a way to do it. Other than that i think i have
done everything that was asked of me to do for this geogebra.
I have now added the
Trace and label on the orange and added a thought from the Pac Man over its
head ! All i need to do is complete the fail and success feature and make the
text box only appear when the statement is true. I will ask the question
tomorrow in Math class.
I have just completed
my final version of the geogebra. The hardest part was the success part but
mainly because i made a reading error and i wasnt typing in the right rule into
the conditions. It took some thought to create the success box but it helped us
learn how to solve a problem. This was my favorite geogebra so far because it
doesnt really look like math at all, with no grid and just a plain
background it looks more like a fun game but at the same time we are learning
math and physics. Geogebra continues to amaze me. It was interesting to create
all the rules and conditions. It was fun and i am finally done!
