ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Your task is to redesign and modify a logo using GDC or Desmos. The logo
must be inspired by world’s famous logo.
You are required to define the equations and points necessary to accomplish
the drawing task using only the software.
You are required to define any transformation of the graph.
You should limit the scope of drawing using only the topics covered which
includes straight lines and parabolic graphs.
You should present the drawing in an orderly and organized manner as a
recorded presentation.
The logo below is taken as an initial inspiration and you are required to redesign
and modify the logo for Inner Circle Math Club in Tzu Chi Secondary School.

GOAL

You will take on the role of a graphic designer who creates logo blueprints that
ROLE incorporate technology and mathematics in order to establish effective marketing for a
company.
 Page 4

Your target audience are business owners of a particular product who wish to hire a
graphic designer. Your audience are the people in the business industry who seek a
professional that could make use of Mathematics beyond the realm of arithmetic and
AUDIENCE
numbers. Thus, the audience strives to yearn for a logo designer who is driven to
incorporate the advancement of Science and Technology and enrich real-life
applications such as Art.

You were invited to present your very own logo design that incorporates mathematics to
the overall elements of your emblem. You are to present this to a group of business
owners of a particular product. You can decide which product you want to exhibit for its
marketing (e.g. beauty products, appliances, softwares, gadgets, etc.). Your challenge is
SITUATION to explain the mathematics behind your finished logo. You can discuss estimations that
occurred, the equations of lines that you used, the transformations that you have done to
recreate certain elements of your design, etc. Your engaging and captivating
presentation could serve as the catalyst to ignite their curiosity and foster creativity in
applying Mathematics and technology for their branding.

Your project should consist of the following parts:

(i) Cover page

You should include:
IB Logo
Tzu Chi Secondary School Logo
Your Full Name
Subject and Teacher’s Name
Title of your logo (make it unique and eye-catching)

(ii) Introduction
In this part, you are required to explain the background situation of your project.
Consider the following inquiry questions:
What is the general purpose or the essence of your logo?
What are the elements of your logo and how are they significant in
establishing the purpose of it?
PRODUCT
(iii) Discussion
Information and Measurement
These include the usage of mathematical information and data.
Mathematical Processes
You are expected to use all mathematical representations you have learned to
support your task which includes tables, graphs,
formulas, equations, etc.
Validity
This encompasses the appropriate techniques and mathematics used to collect
information.
Structure and Communication
It refers to the organization of the information, calculations and interpretations in
presenting the project as logically possible.
Notation and Terminology
This refers to the use of correct terminology and mathematical notation.

(iv) Conclusion and Reflection

You may use the following guide questions to write your conclusion and
reflection:
How did you make use of mathematics to create your logo?
How did mathematics guide you in establishing accuracy of graphs?
What difficulties or challenges did you encounter when you did the project?
Justify your choice of rounding off used for all your data and calculations made in
the task.
Discuss if your results are accurate and identify any limitations that may have
caused errors in your calculation or the final conclusion.
Discuss in your final result how the choice of function, shape, size, etc. that you
choose to use in your project makes sense in real life.

Period 1:
Explore the template using Desmos.
You will be guided on how to make use of the features of Desmos as well the
potential transformation rules that you could incorporate for your logo design.
Here are some useful links:
Desmos Transformations
Translations on Desmos
Desmos Transformations
Learn Desmos Polygons
Conduct research on logo design and develop a conceptual framework for the
TIMEFRAME image to be created.
(six periods)
Period 2-3:
Design the template using mathematical equations to articulate your concept.
Indicate the necessary mathematics that you have applied for some features of
your design. Outline the estimations, rules used, etc.

Period 4-6:
Create detailed reports that outline the design process, mathematical functions
used, and offer a thoughtful reflection on the experience.
