Assignment #1: Determining Your Model

By the beginning of next class period you will have selected a project. I will be publishing a rubric on how you will be graded, but for now your research needs to include the following:

1.) You need the name (mathematical) of you sculpture.
2.) You need the folding diagram of your sculpture.
3.) You need the amount of origami paper calculated for your sculpture.
4.) You need the beginnings of the math behind your project.
5.) You need the color of how your sculpture will look.
6.) You need weekly goals for folding modules so that you will finish in time. There are 8 weeks left in school.
7.) You will determine who will work with you on your project.
8.) You will delegate specific tasks to people in your group.

Once you make a selection you will stick with it until the end. If you don't have a project then you will be assigned one by me and will receive a zero for your first grade.
