Puzzle Cube Part 1

1 & 2) Identify the Problem & Constraints- For this project we were told we were helping make a new toy or fun activity for kids. We got a list of constraints to remember

• The Puzzle Cube must be fabricated from 27 1/4" hardwood cubes 
• The puzzle must contain exactly 5 puzzle pieces 
• Each puzzle piece must consist of at least 3, but no more than six hardwood cubes that are permanently attached to each other. 
• No 2 puzzle pieces can be the same. 
• The 5 puzzle pieces must assemble from a 2 1/4" cube. 
• Some puzzle parts should interlock. 

3) Brainstorming- When I began to brainstorm, I chose to make a different combinations consisting of 3, 4, 5, and 6 cubes. Here are some pictures so you can get an idea.

Applied Statistics

In this new project, we learned to generate a data set of linear measurements. We also looked back into our old math and remembered how to find the mean, median, mode, and range of the data set. We also created a histogram of recorded measurements showing class interval and frequently.

Mean- The sum of all the values of a set of data divided by the number of cubes in the data set
Median- The median number of the all the data set
Mode- The number that most frequently appears in the data set
Range- The subtraction of the highest measurement and the lowest. (highest - lowest)

Multiview Sketches

This is another type of sketching. This one is called Multiview Sketches. In this one, you take a a shape and put down the three views. A top, right, and front view of the shape.

Perspective Sketches

In this new lesson, we learned about Perspective Drawings. This is an isometric figure drawn in one, two, and three point perspective sketches. Here is an example.

Oblique Sketches

For this he worked with the same shapes from before. Only this time, we had a new view, oblique sketches. Oblique sketches is when you do the front view of a shape. We had to draw both cavalier and cabinet style oblique sketches.

Isometric Sketches

In class, we indivitually worked on Isometric Shapes. We got a sheet with different shapes to draw. Then we drew in our shapes and did all the shading. It is important to get all the measurments rights, or else your shape will come out smaller than it is originally placed.

PowerPoint Presentation

 In engineering class, I worked again with Chrispy96 (Christian Penaranda) on a project. We were told to make a PowerPoint presentation on the History of Measuments. We also made a book jacket that has a bit of preview on our slides and a link to this Blogger account.
