Mathland Project Ideas: 1. Continue the pattern of translations for three more terms 2. Remix the project's code to make it more efficient (Hint: Look for repeated patterns in the code and examine how the X and Y coordinate values change as the pattern is built) 3. Create a new project using a regular polygon that translates in a way to create a growing pattern. 4. Reflect: What do you notice about the pattern? How might you describe how it looks to friend you are talking to on a phone? 5. Reflect: Is this growing pattern additive or multiplicative? Why?
Probably the most powerful challenge is #3 above.This project involves the creation of a mathematical growing pattern sequence that naturally involves engaging most of the math processes and a number of expectations from the GSS and PA strands.
