Write problem/project Goal
To develop the next step of procedure in creating each individual blocks and map out where to build a full scale Igloo.

My First Task
My task is to pick up the math that previous team left behind and find out how many blocks are needed and the dimensions of each layers.

Summary of actual work over first weekend
Originally, base on the parabolic graph, I was going to print out the graph and measure its base at a certain scale and determine geometrically the number of blocks needed in the parabola. Instead, I did it mathematically.

Week1 Narrative
This week I calculated the number of blocks required to build an igloo. Base on the math function of a parabola, plugging in n layer as y value and solving x will determine the radius. From the radius, I calculated the circumference and divided over the size of block to find how many blocks are needed in that particular layer. I continue this process from y = 0 to y = 8 to find total amount of blocks required to build this igloo.

My Second Task
Over the weekend, my task is to ask someone from the math department to see if the math tutorial of igloo project is do able on a full scale, actual igloo project.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
Over the weekend, I took the math tutorial to my math tutor and math professors from Hickory Ridge to determine whether or not the math would be ideal for the igloo project. After getting the math approved, a slight bit of adjustment were made to the finding the radius of a parabola equation was made. From this, I recalculated the number of blocks and find the layer angle for all eight layers of the igloo.

Week2 Narrative
I verified to the team that the math tutorial would be the ideal approach of carrying on the igloo project. I then find the number of blocks, radius, and layer angles for all eight layers of the igloo. From this information, my team created an excel chart. I also determined that the top piece of the igloo is going to be a pentagon. This was determined by the fact that the number of blocks of the 7th layer is 5. Also, in order for this top piece to fit in nicely, the layer angle will be cut from the bottom corner at the same layer angle such as of the 7th layer.

My Third task
My task over the weekend is to determine the mitering angle for each layer of igloo. Then create an illustration of each block so my partner will know the dimensions on how the blocks should be shape.
