This is our Christmas Village benchmark. In this project you will see how we applied our knowledge from this geometry unit to a fun and creative town.
Welcome to Philadelphia’s new district: namestown.
For this project in Geometry class, we had to design a town and use mathematics to figure out patterns in our map and make a document to collect all of the information and writing!
Ours was Christmas-themed. Enjoy!

Geometry Benchmark from Quarter 2. It is a made-up city called Food City.
My group and I decided to make Spiderman our project’s theme. Each quadrant, in our project, represents a different spiderman. You can find a copy of our final product in the attached file.
For our project we made a big superhero map. We filled it with a bunch of different superhero buildings and stores, and we made it really creative.

In Q2, my notebook has allowed me to organize my thoughts from the book, lessons, and discussions, as well as brainstorm ideas for projects. In the future I hope to use my notebook more often in discussions and other things where it isn’t specifically needed, and to take notes on everything, rather than specifically when I need to. Q2 Notebook Walkthrough
My notebook for Quarter 2 has helped me to sort many of my ideas. In my notebook, I made sure to utilize icons, boxes, and underlines to help pick out and summarize topics. In the future, I would like to color code my notes and develop the habit of always having my notebook out.

My notebook has significantly helped me improved my ability to learn during class yet there are still so many ways how I can fully maximize my potential on taking notes. In the next quarter I definitely will improve on my note taking skills and i will accomplish that by being more active on my notebook.
Since quarter one, I have found new ways to improve my notebook to help it make sense to me. This quarter especially, I found a way to organize my discussion notes so I can understand what thought belongs to who, and what response belongs to what question. With organized information, I can learn how others feel about a topic and use their knowledge to expand my own. This shows that through my notes, I can learn more about myself and others in how we learn. I intended to maximize this knowledge by continuing to improve on my discussion notes and how I feel about others’ opinions. In order to do this, I will also need to keep making color coded annotations to be able to contribute to group or pod discussions to be able to suggest ideas, because that is how my reading notes make sense to me.
Madi’s Q2 Notebook Project My notebook has really helped me organize my thoughts. My brain tends to be all over the place and having something to write/draw on is really helpful. I also can never remember anything, so I really try to make sure I take quality notes in class to reflect on later. I think it would be interesting if in the future I have a designated drawing section, so I don’t crowd the notes with my doodles. Just so I can be a little more organized.
P.S Google Docs really lessens the quality.
