Two rivers
The problem that we had to solve in this scenero was that there was a man that wanted to find a good place to build his house. Though, he didn't want to be too far away from the rivers to wish and far enough from the sewage plant. So we had to find a good spot that was not too far from either river but wasn't too close to the sewage plant. In the picture below, it shows where I would not want to build my house.
Snail trail grafiti lab
Sadly, I did not take part in the Snail Trail Grafiti lab. I attempted to, but I was having a lot of technical difficulties with my laptop and was not able to do that project.
Hexa Flexa Gon
The hexa flexa gon is all about symetery. You need to make sure that all the lines and shapes match up with all the others on the different squares. The one side design that pleased me the most was the one facing upward in the photo above, because it was the most colorful and all the lines matched up almost perfectly. To make this entertaining little toy just a little better is I would've made the measurements on all four sides just a little more prise. Then the lines would much more correctly when put together, and it would just look nicer. I learned that I'm a perfectionist with things require close detail attention.
In the picture above, I have a slightly zoomed up picture of the lab in Geogebra attempting to show where I would NOT want to put the house. That spot is close to the bottom, because it was way too close to the sewage plant. We don't want that because then the horrible stench will invade our lovely little home. So we definetly don't want to put it there.
Then in the picture above, it shows an actual good spot to put the house. And that is right where the green dot is. This is because it is the exact same distance awau from both rivers and a good amount away from the sewage plant.
Burning tent
For the burning tent, the problem was that your tent was on fire and you had to figure out the shortest path to the river to put it out.
TRIGONOMETRY
In this project we did trigonometry to figure out the equations for the distance away from ourselves and an object we picked outside.

Anamorphic project summary
Anamorphic means relating to or marked by intentional distortion (as by unequal magnification along perpendicular axes) of an image For the anamorphic drawings, what me and a partner did was found a picture that we felt was enough of a challenge for the two of us. Then we traced it onto a piece of glass. From there, we placed a poster board straight up and a box with the glass sitting on top at the bottom. Then we sat down slightly slouching and using a laser pointer, we found the specific points needed to form the shape on the paper. I feel that the biggest challenge was making time to get the project done in time because me and my partner were gone a lot of the work time days.
