VISUALIZATION   REFLECTION 

 Challenge & Selection   As an 8th grade student , I use visualization a lot in my life . In my classes , I strive to not only memorize the information presented but also understand it . In order for me to do this , I use visualization . Some of my peers who struggle constantly ask me for aid in their respective subjects which we share . I wanted to challenge myself to only use the tool of visualization to help them . I selected visualization as we are now studying geometry and it 's very important to learn how to visualize things . 

 Application   The main problems that my peers have with math are fairly simple to solve with visualization . For example , some of them are n't comfortable with the relatively important concept of isometries . In geometry , an isometry is a rigid transformation between metric spaces . Most of my classmates simply try to figure out and isometry by using a formula . However while being sloppy , a formula can give you inaccurate results due to an unforced error . Geometry , however , is the perfect candidate for usage of visualization .     What you have to remember while doing simple isometries is that it is usually possible to do without any formula what so ever . One example a 180 rotation transforms from ( x , y ) to ( -x,-y ) . For people who were just barely paying attention in class , this concept is n't one they are likely to remember . So when I was doing homework with a friend and they start asking me for help on an isometry by saying they forgot the formula I switched my approach . In the past , I would simply tell them the formula . This time . I explained to them to visualize the shape than explained how it usually transforms diagonally . After doing this a couple of times I found it to be a lot more helpful for them and I switched my approach .     In this scenario , the tool was applied effectively . However , geometry is a very specific domain which visualization works very well . Most other areas of math can not be explained this easily due to the fact they require complex formulas . Geometry worked very well because lots of geometry is a visualization so it is easy to expand that to other areas .

 Insight and Approach   I 've learned lots from this challenge specifically how to explain things to my peers in different ways . Apart from helping my peers , I can also help myself understand more concepts . Not only math but in all my subjects and also in life . Design thinking has really transformed my perspective on problem - solving . Now , when faced with a challenge or a problem I immediately turn to the steps introduced to me in this video .     If I were to do this challenge again I would turn to challenge a little more out of the norm to me . Geometry I felt was too easy to get a complete grasp on the concept I. Next time I would turn to a concept out of school and out of my comfort zone . Because I realized how powerful of a tool visualisation is I will use it now in my day to day life .

EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
