Algebra I Stained Glass Window Project

Stained glass window project

This is a project we will be working Quarter 2.  You do not know all of the information needed to complete this project currently but you will be learning it in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.  If you lose this sheet, the project sheet will be posted BUT the X-Y charts WILL NOT be posted on my blog, pcotney.blogspot.com .  This project is due NOVEMBER 20^th, 1^st period.  If not turned in 1^st period Nov. 20th, it will not be accepted.  

For this project, you will be using your graphing skills and creativity to design and create an algebraic stained glass window. These projects will be on display in our classroom on my windows.  You will be graded on a combination of your mathematical skills, creativity, and presentation.

Materials:          chart paper (measured 30in. x 16in.), straightedge, pencil, X-Y chart sheets (2), crayons, colored pencils, or markers

Preliminary:      You might want to practice these steps on a regular piece of graph paper in case you make mistakes, change your idea, or practice before your final draft.

Step 1:                 Measure you chart paper (30in. x 16in.), and cut your paper to follow the given dimensions. 

Step 2:                Draw and label your x and y axes on your graph paper using your straightedge.  Lightly number the axes to help you later.

Step 3:                 While thinking about what you want your stained glass window to look like using ONLY straight lines (no curves, circles, etc.), create a creative arrangement of AT LEAST six horizontal lines and six vertical lines.  These lines should be lightly but noticeably labeled with their respective equations.  Also the X-Y chart sheet for horizontal and vertical lines should be completed.  On the X-Y chart sheet you are asked to write the equation of each line and 5 points that lie on that line. 

Step 4:                Next you will need to write equations for AT LEAST six lines with a positive slope in your stained glass window picture.  (You can either draw the line based on what you want your picture to look like and then write the equation of the line OR write the equation of a line first  and then draw it and try to make it a design) Also the X-Y chart sheet for lines with positive slope should be completed. 

Step 5:                Next you will need to write equations for AT LEAST six lines with a negative slope in your stained glass window picture.  (Same directions as in Step 4) Also the X-Y charts for lines with negative slope should be completed. 

Step 6:                Now go in and color the sections of your stained glass window that has been created by the horizontal, vertical, positive sloped, and negative sloped lines. The coloring is VERY important.  Great coloring can take a “B” project to an “A” or it can take a “B” project to a “C”. 

Step 7:                 Write your name on the back of the stained glass window lightly and small.  Staple both of your X-Y chart sheets together with your name on the top sheet. 

This project is worth 100 points (equivalent to a test grade).  

Rubric:  24 lines (3 points each) = 72 points, Design/Creativity = 12 points, Presentation/Overall Appeal = 12 points, Followed ALL Directions = 4 points.  TOTAL = 100 points
