System of Equations Application Project Description
This project was assigned to us by Ms. Jeanie, our Math teacher. This unit has been focused on systems of equations, and understanding how to solve them. This project was the end project of the unit instead of a test. We were assigned to make our own real world word problem, and solve it using graphing, substitution, and elimination, with two variables. I chose to demonstrate this on a poster, and I have the steps of solving laid out on my paper.
System of Equations Application Project Reflections
I chose to share this work sample on my portfolio because I am proud of my project, especially because it shows my understanding of systems of equations. I think that solving systems of equations is interesting, and challenging, so I want to show my new understanding of them to my parents and advisor.
I believe that this work sample represents Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy skills because in making my word problem I am learning about real world economic and financial circumstances. My word problem deals with cost and money, so learning how to make my word problem realistic used my Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy skills.
This project challenged me more than I expected, I had a hard time coming up with a word problem that made sense, and that would come out to have a valid answer. I struggled when naming my prices of the items in my word problem, and I think that this assignment helped my growth.
An opportunity for new growths is the actual word problem. I think that if I could do this assignment over again I would remake my word problem, and make it a little more challenging to solve. I could also improve on the layout, and my handwriting. I do not have perfect handwriting, which makes my project look considerably less neat. However I am proud of how it came out in the end.
