My Tapa Reflection By Karla

For maths, we are learning about translation, rotation and refelxtion through tapa cloths. These were my results:

 Are you pleased with your accomplishment? Why / Why Not? I am because I like the way it looks and I liked the process in making it.

 2. What were some of the most interesting discoveries you made while working on your Tapa Cloth? About the task? About myself? Surprisingly, I learnt that when bleach goes on dye it will turn white. Successfully my tapa had reflection, rotation and translation, which was my goal after completing this task.

3. What were some of my most challenging moments in making my Tapa Cloth and what made them so? After when my dye was dried, I had to bleach to make some details white. The challenging bit was when I had to go in the detail and I would try not to bleach on the brown dye. Later, luckily we could fix up the mistakes with some brown dye.

 4. What would you do differently if you were to make a Tapa Cloth again? Make sure the designs are more detailed.

 5. What / who helped you with your Tapa Cloth? At the start we ruled 3 by 3 cm squares to help us with the designs. At the end, thankfully we could dye over our mistakes.

 6. What could you modify / alter on your Tapa Cloth? If I made another design my Tapa would look more bold and outstanding than it already is.

 7. What aspect of your Tapa Cloth are you most proud of? My favourite part of my tapa is my design, it’s not really bold but I like that it shows rotation and reflection
