ZERO  By : colleen Nyirenda   INVESTIGATION   Identify the Problem  We need to know and find out why the number zero is useful and important. Explain the Problem we need to find out why the number zero ecxists and why it is so important and interesting we also have to find out what would happen if the number zero didn't ecxist. is the number zero positive or negative. Why do we use the number zero if zero is nothing. nothing can be added to zero so why is it so important and interesting. We are also going to also look at how the olden day people use the number zero. In most writings, newsletters, news, poems, count downs and books they do not start with the number zero the just start with the number 1 because if zero does not mean anything there is no point of starting with that number because it means nothing.

Research and Analysis

=
Zero i s a strange number. It is neither positive or negative, if you add or subtract zero to a number it stays the same. If a number was multiplied by zero you would get zero. The number zero has two meanings."i have 2 apples i give you two apples then i have zero apples. ====== This idea seems normal to us, but it confused the ancient Greeks, and medieval people. How can nothing be a number. The meaning of zero is a place holder. Early numbers such as Egyptians had no zero in their number system. If you have 1 or 2 apples then fine but if it is 0 you cant seem it. Once Arabic numbers were accepted, the meaning of the number zero became understood. It would be impossible to have modern mathematics without it.

Design Brief I am going to make a power point presentation explaining and answering the unit question. A PowerPoint presentation will solve the problem because i will put all the important and relevant information on the number zero so that people can understand and know about the historian numbers and the number Zero in the past and in the present. This power point will help people all over so they can know why the number zero is so important and people can understand why we use the number zero instead of saying it doesn't mean anything. I also make this power point because most people are determined to know why the number zero is so important but it means nothing. The number zero has been used for a very long time and people need to know how important the number zero is because if we didn't have that number we wouldn't have really big numbers. The number zero is to hold big numbers place values and am going to make a power point basted on that because people just seem to know that the number zero does not mean anything even though it is very important. = How did the ancients use numbers? =

Product Specification My product must: > 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 Test Plan I will ask 10 people from my class and will get feedback from them if i have answered the unit q uestion.If i have not and there is still time before the deadline i will try and add and put as much information as i can to answer the unit question. to make my asking easier i will make a survey asking how i can improve and what i need to change and what is good. Am also going to ask for a grade a rating a comment and what i could improve. DESIGN Pictures of my designs Analysis of my designs I choose the 1st design because it shows what is supposed to be on the final product unlike the 2nd one it shows some parts of it and it only shows on one page tthats the 1st slide. I cant only make to 1st slide great i need to put everything ealse perfect too. The 1st one shows the font sizes. the background colours and the font type. Justification for chosen design  I have chose the fist design   __Design 1__ Design 1 has a introduction slide, A history facts slide, a First extra ones up to the student slide, a introduction of the number zero in Europe, a expansion slide, A slide of my choice and a slide the concludes everything in the presentation. Design 1 also has the back ground color, the font size, the font color and the type of font. Design 1 has the most most detailed information of what i am going to put in the presentation. Design 1 shows that there is a concluding slide and an introduction slide. Comparing design 1 to the design specification it has all of the things that need to be on the presentation. Design 1 looks more affection because Design 2 looks really plain because it does not show the background colour the font size or the font type. __ Design 2 __ Comparing design 2 with the product specification design 2 is missing lots of information.

CREATE  Final Product   media type="file" key="colleen the number zero.swf" width="574" height="574"   Changes made to the original Design

I changed the font size in most slides so that when people are reading it they can see properly and i changed the positions of the writing. i added moreanimations to make it interesting for the audience who are going to see it and i also changed the amount of pictures and put more picture so people could understand what the slide was all about. Changes made to the original Plan My plan shows i was supposed to be finished on the 16 may 2013 but i finished it on the 23 may 2013 because i worked slow and never did any work outside class on my final product. EVALUATE  Results of tests I have designed a table with peoples comments and rating they have to me improvements and i have made targets. i now know how to make my work better. you have done a great job and your handwork has payed of. I don't think you have any targets. May God Bless You! || Nawaz || 9 || I think that the font is readable and very clear. || Well done Colleen!!! || The font was clear and pretty. your pictures were relevant. || i don't think you need any targets. || Krishnan || 8 || I think that you might be able to make the information clearer with subtitles. || Nice job! || Pictures were good and showed nice information you did not plagiarize and you had all your bibliography's. you had enough animations and transitions and it was great. || try to make subtitles so if you read the information, you know clearly what the text is about. || Next time am gonna take my work more seriously and keep my deadline date am also gonna use my time to get better marks. Recommendations for improvement Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle  I am going to make my plan more accurately and i am gonna follow it and not change it because the project wont be followed. i will also have more detailed word and instructions on it.
