About
The Geometry Project is a assignment where we are creating a apartment through shapes and angles. We were split into groups to create a apartment that was 600 to 800 square feet and draw it out on paper like a blueprint. We have to have at least one diagonal wall, have the place this will be built, a price for the apartment, and 1 unit having a one to two scale from all of the others. My group consists of Lionel, Samson, Kyle, Dash and me. So far we have drawn most of the apartment out and thought about pricing and location. This project is not completed yet.

Pros and Cons |
The Geometry Project uses Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy Skills through the pricing of the apartments. We had to analize the area and find a price that would match up with how expensive things are there and then explain why we have made it this price. This shows the buisness process of this 21st century skill due to the housing market being a buisness that we are trying to sell in. If you make the house too expensive, no one is going to perchase it.
During this project I was able to learn how expensive certain places truly are while on the other hand others are much cheaper. For example, one of the places that we were thinking of was Venice, Italy. Venice can be very expensive due to how beautiful the area is and also how much culture it has. I did not know this and I had to understand how pricey it was there.

I am proud of the way our sketch looks so far. It looks almost professional and we are getting the apartment done pretty nicely. Another thing I am proud of would be how well we all work together. we all care about getting this done and we have all pitched in throughout the entire project.
The most difficult part of this project was figuring out a design. I was absent for some of this part of the classes and due to this I was unable to be there when they made the decision. Due to this I was confused for a while what we were doing as well as was a bit behind.

What Could be Better |
Past and Future Learning |
The use of our time could be used a bit better as multiple people in my group tend to get distracted extremely easily. Due to this it can be difficult to stay on task and since I am unable to do every part of this project it some times infuriates me.

This project relates to when we did a similar one during Mr. Satovich's class where we had to build a resturaunt from scratch. Both projects deal with real world buisness issues and I learned a lot from both of these.
I could apply this knowledge when buying a place to live. To avoid getting scammed, I now know that it is good to understand how expensive the area is so that you dont end up paying too much in the end. The pricing difference between Colorado and California could be extremely different for all I know and if I did not do the reaserch I would have no idea.
