Native American- Cultural Background

1. Native American beadwork is well known for its beauty.
2. A key concept I will be using in this lesson would be the cultural background of Native American beadwork and the mathematical concepts it embodies.
3. This design type is based off of four-fold symmetry.
4. The four types of images all have four fold symmetry and are made of geometric shapes.
5. The images are, Plains Indians Embroidery, Shoshone beadwork, Pawnee Buffalo Hide Drum, Navajo rug.
6. Reflection Symmetry is when the right side of the image mirrors the left side of the image.
7. Teepees are often made with four base poles, each placed in one of the four directions.
8. Four-fold symmetry is commonly used for sand paintings that is used for healing ceremonies.
9. The Yupik Parka decoration uses the four-fold symmetry with a coordinate system, measuring vertical and horizontal distances, the center is near the belly button.
10. The bead loom, much like a Cartesian coordinate system with rows and columns.
11.  Native American beadwork was created in 1794 before the Europeans came.
12. These designs were used to record messages and historical events.
  

Communitcation

In computer apps. class we were given a log to record the amount of data we created in one day. For me, I didn't create as nearly as much data as most people. I only sent three texts and one phone call during 24 hours. Though that was an unusually low number for me, I had 3 tests and a Socratic Seminar the next day so I didn't generate as many texts as I normally would. I normally don't use my email, only for school and I never really check it due to spam. I know that none of my friends would waste time emailing me when they could text me so I don't find much point to check it unless for school. During the school year I don't really use social media unless its for sports team groups. One of my friends is always using technology and almost never puts her phone down, compared to me she is using data almost 10 times the amount I use it. 

Computer Buying Project Partner Experience

Working with my partner is going well, we are staying on task. We still have a lot more to do, but so far its been going fine.

About Me, Myself, and I.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth Dee. I'm a sophomore at RMHS. I'm on the Reading cross country team, along with winter and spring track, if you haven't realized yet I love to run. I'm an only child, but have awesome cousins and friends. My favorite movie is probably a Disney movie, either the Lion King, or Mulan. My favorite book right now is Matched, by Ally Condie. I don't have a favorite Tv show, but  I don't watch many American shows. After high school I hope to get accepted into either Tufts, Cornell, or UVM, and I want to become a Veterinary Surgeon. I hope to get a scholarship for at least the first four years of college on either academics or a running, though I'm not sure what division.
