By : Mtendere Horea = The Number Zero =

INVESTIGATION  Identify the Problem  The problem is why did the Indians invent a new number system.

Explain the Problem

The problem is that the i have to find out why they invented a new number system.
Research and Analysis This is my research and analysis

[[file:ZERO INFO 2.docx]]
Design Brief For my design brief am going to make a power-point to show why the Indians created a new number system for which the world adapted. Its going to be used to help people know why this number system was created, and does the number system help us. It could be used to for teaching and could be good to gain the extra information for knowledge. It can be for ages which will understand the topic because you can never know what age can understand this topic. The power-point has to be able to show you about this topic and it should be easy to understand and go threw because the person who goes and see the power-point has to understand it easy notice the small things in the power-point so they can know about this unit and what i learned about and what they learned about.

DESIGN I will test the product to the designs and compare if they look the same with the others Pictures of my designs

1. 2. 3.   Analysis of my designs  1. My first design inst descriptive and it does not show as much detail. The product specifications are not the same as the one on my wiki-spaces page unit 4. 2. My second one doesn't show anything and is not clear and you can not really see anything because i used color pencils which didnt scan propley because it was not shaded darkly. 3. My third design is detailed and show almost everything which was written on my product specifications. It shows on the side about the power point and what the product is going to be like and how it will be working,this power point is the most detailed and is the most effective than the others. Justification for chosen design

i choose design 3 It shows on the side about the power point and what the product is going to be like and how it will be working,this power point is the most detailed and is the most effective than the others. The design matches my product specification's more and you can see on the side the product specifications, the design is effective because it show me whats going to be on it. = = __//**Comparisons**//__ - the first design and the second one -the first one and the third on -the third one and the second one
 * The first one is visible but the second you can barely see anything because i didn't know that you cant use bright colors because the scanner wouldn't scan them
 * The first one and the third one are visible but its the matter of the product specifications are not the same because the first one isn't matching with the product specifications on the wiki and the total of slides are different than the product specifications. But the third design matches almost all of the product specifications and inst that visible but you can see the product specifications on the side of the design.
 * the third one is more visible than the second because you can see what the product is going to have but the second you cant see anything.

CREATE  Final Product  My Power-Point Presentation media type="file" key="How did the ancients use numbers.By Mtendere Horea.swf" width="568" height="473" My Master Slide Screen Shot Changes made to the original Design I didn't really change anything about the design except i put hyperlinks on the pp(Power-Point) presentation and i didn't put the transitions because i didn't really know how to use them but the power-point came together.

Changes made to the original Plan  I didn't follow my plan as well i thought i would but i did follow most of it.I missed about four days during this unit. EVALUATE  Results of tests Comparisons

Recommendations for improvement
 * I could have reflected on each lesson and see what i had to improve
 * I could have been working in-between breaks
 * I could have been looking at my design and seeing what i needed to do
 * I could have been writing down what i have changed every lesson so i could know what i changed during the process

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle I think that the design cycle was used appropriately and i used as much detail as i could because i not that good at designing but it is as much detail that i could put into the designs. I tried my best at comparing the designs against each other and, i put as much writing on the design stage the design that i choose was not scanned well so i put the design specification on the side of the paper. So i compared to get at least the grade that i was aiming for.
