Project Overview
In this project, we got into groups to measure the volume of an object. My group and I decided to measure a fidget spinner, like this one.
You can immediately see that this spinner is made out of circles, which we can easily measure the area of. There are also some triangles in the spaces between the circles.
We found the area of all these circles, and then the area for the triangles. We added these numbers together and then subtracted the circular holes in the spinner. After that, we had the base area of 4.296 inches squared. We can multiply this number by the height of the object to get the volume, so we did. Our volume was 1.29 inches cubed.
Reflection
I think that my group took too long to get work done on this project. We were late to get the math done, and late to do our presentation. I think that once we actually started doing the math things were pretty easy, but we had just put it off for too long. In the future, I think I should work on being a leader and motivating myself and others to get work done.
