The Number Zero By :Shamsher Singh

INVESTIGATION  Identify the Problem  I have to find out some information about the number zero, things like what year was it discovered, where was it discovered, by who and why. I must find out as much as I can about the number zero and historical facts and information.

Explain the Problem I must create a PowerPoint presentation explaining how ancients lived without the Hindu Arabic number system. I will have to get information on the Hindu Arabic system and write about it. I must follow the product specification and what it says.

Research and Analysis I found out that the number zero was first created in India.

The number zero spread to Europe by a man called Fibonacci. The Europeans were afraid to use the new number system because they thought it would be too difficult for them to use and learn.
Design Brief write your design brief here Product Specification My product must:  My PowerPoint layout must be like this. > The research should have been > Using power point you are going to create a power point presentation on "How did the ancients use numbers"? > The presentation must include at least 6 slides, but no more than 10 > · The 6 slides should be titled > o Slide 1 introduction > o Slide 2 historical facts > o Slide 3 First extra ones up to the student > o Slide 4 Introduction of Zero Europe > o Slide 5 expansion of maths > o Slide 6 Second slide of your choice > o Slide 7 concluding summary Test Plan 1. I will try to see if my work follows the product specification 2. I will check my work and see if i followed the product specification 3. I will ask someone to check if my work follows the product specification DESIGN  Pictures of my designs
 * How did the ancients use numbers?

Analysis of my designs My designs show how my PowerPoint will look, what font it will have, font size, font colour and font type. I have written slide by slide and I will try to make my presentation look more like my designs. Justification for chosen design I choose my second design because I think it explains my PowerPoint more than the other one. It shows how the PowerPoint will be and what will be where. It explains the font size, colour and font type. It is easier to look at and understand. PLAN Place your plan here

CREATE  Final Product Changes made to the original Design I put pictures in different places on the PowerPoint. I put different pictures on the PowerPoint that I did not put on my design. I swapped the bibliography and the conclusion slide around. I changed the background colour and made them different. Changes made to the original Plan  explain where you did not follow your plan and give reasons why you did not follow the plan here   EVALUATE   Results of tests I have checked the product specification and I have... Slide one is the introduction. Slide two is historical facts. Slide three is different ways to write the number zero. Slide four is introduction of zero to Europe. Slide five is

Recommendations for improvement To improve in the future I can work faster so that I can get more of my work done. I didn't work fast enough and didn't finish enough of my work on time. I will do some work at home so that I can get more of my work done. I didn't put enough time to do a good job and I will try do do better next time. I think I can do better and I am not happy with my work for this unit. I can do a lot better than this and I am very disappointed. I did not do my plan saying what I will do and when I will do it so I can not complete my evaluate the way it must be completed. I was absent and missed some lessons, but I could have done my work at home. Sometimes I would have no internet to do my work at home but I could have arranged to stay after school to finish, or come in at break time. I should learn to manage my time wisely and think about when I can come in at which days so I can get my work done. Now that I have internet at home, I will be able to finish the next unit I do. I will come finish my work at break time and then go continue it at home. I will read every piece of information I read and do my best work out of it. I will try to make everything I write be at the best standard it can possibly be. I didn't get enough time to finish as I was sometimes absent and worked slow. I will give more detail about what the problem is and why it is a problem. When I make my designs I will put as much as information as possible. I will make them neat, readable and understandable.

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle  I will do everything step by step following the design cycle. I didn't do it following the design cycle so I have to learn and practice doing it following the design cycle. I didn't follow the design cycle so most of my work is not complete. I didn't write the things I was supposed to write because I didn't follow the design cycle. Next time I will do everything in order and read the criteria so I know what to do in detail so that I can get good marks. I will read everything written on the design cycle and follow the steps and write as much as I can that follows the design cycle. Before the deadline, I will ask my teacher where I must write more or what I must write so that I can do it before the time is up and we move on to the next step. I will ask for some help and follow the criteria for that step. I will keep my work organized and stay on task.
