Students and Parents,
Our culminating activity for unit 5 was taken directly from the Georgia Performance Standards for this unit. The activity that ends unit 5 is listed below in its entirety:
"A club at your school wants a new logo and is sponsoring a contest to get ideas from students. The winner of the contest
will receive a $100.00 cash award. You could really use that money, so you have decided to enter the contest. Your task is
to design a logo for the club that meets the following requirements:
1. You must use constructions to create the logo.
2. The design must include at least one translation, reflection, or rotation.
3. Design your logo on an 8.5 inch by 11 inch coordinate plane so that it will fit on the front or back of a t-shirt.
4. Dilate your design so that it will fit on a sign (no larger than 5 feet by 5 feet).
Your design will compete against other designs to be the official logo for the club. Be prepared to present your design.
Your presentation should include visuals of your logo for both the t-shirt and the sign, and a written explanation of the steps and procedures you followed in designing your logo.
Use coordinates to describe the transformations you used.
Give the scale factor used for the dilation and explain the similarities and differences in the t-shirt logo and the sign logo."
*****Students may create a sign for any school club, activity, or sport that does NOT already have a nationally recognized logo. National organizations are not available for this activity.*****
