This project allows students to use scale factor in the context of coordinate Geometry. They are to graph their own image, put around 15 (x,y) coordinates on their image and then perform scale factor to make a larger or smaller version of their picture of choice. Another component is the reflection component where students are required to answer some questions about the process of their creation of their scale drawings.

A mandala is a ritual symbol that is used in the Hindu and Buddhist religions. During the course, we will be going deeper into studying shapes at large and the physical features of those shapes. Ancient people used Geometry when creating mandalas, and we will be use Geometry to create a mandala that is symbolic of who you are and what your goals are.
