Virtual Bead Loom project Copy your screenshot from the previous slide and paste it below: Click on your screenshot, and then on the “Format” tab in the ribbon. Crop your screenshot. Give it a picture style. Give your picture border a color. This should all be shown on your picture, below.

Math Connections Open this link on Native American Beadwork Explain the math term “Reflection” as it is described in this article Explain the math term “Median” as it is described in this article. How does she use a Median bead?

Math concepts – Look up and define these terms, below: Translation Iteration Dilation Rotation

Math concepts – Look up and define these terms, below: Symmetry Vectors Reflection Symmetry Four-fold Symmetry Cartesian Graph

project ANSWER: What math concepts did the computer scientists who created these design tools for beading need to know? How did he/she incorporate them into the program? Notes to take and to put in ppt to present Cultural history Tool – what it is and how to use it Take pic of your design and edit with photoshop Math – what math is used in the design

Explain how you achieved these Learning objectives Explain how computers can be used as tools for visualizing data, modeling and design, and art: Explain what mathematical concepts were used in the beading design tools: Explain what you did to edit an image using Photoshop:
