Activity 4.1 Puzzle Design Challenge
In Activity 4.1, we designed, built and made statistics on a puzzle cube that we made of 5 puzzle pieces that each consisted of three to six wooden cubes. Activity 4.1 had 5 parts to it. The five parts of Activity 4.1 are Activity 4.1a - Puzzle Part Combinations, Activity 4.1b - Engineering Graphics, Activity 4.1c - Mathematical Modeling, Activity 4.1d - Software Modeling Introduction, and Activity 4.1e - Model Creation. As a class, we only fully completed Activity 4.1a, Activity 4.1b, and Activity 4.1c. The rest of our project was loosely based on activities 4.1d and 4.1e. In Activity 4.1a we designed at least 16 different puzzle pieces; 4 pieces made of 3 wooden cubes, 4 pieces made of 4 wooden cubes, 4 pieces made of 5 wooden cubes, and 4 pieces made of 6 wooden cubes. In Activity 4.1b, we designed two puzzle cube designs made of 5 of the puzzle pieces that we designed in Activity 4.1a. In Activity 4.1c, we learned about statistics based on collected data and uploaded it to the Excel spreadsheet. To learn about the rest of my Activity 4.1 go to the projects tab, then to the portfolio tab and to Activity 4.1.
