Not only did the concepts I chose help me review for the final exam, but I learned to develop solvable problems and now understand the process it takes to form these questions. I chose to incorporate difficult concepts to grasp at first, but improve with repetition. I feel the problems I formed show vital mathematical knowledge that helped me to expand on the basic concepts. I wanted to create challenging problems, but not problems that one would spend hours working on. Honestly, I believed this project would be much easier than it actually was. Like a lot of things I thought I could spend a couple hours and have solid work however it took over ten hours to form questions and put them online. Through weeks of struggle, I formed questions that I can be proud of. Working hard on a project makes me appreciate what I had to do in order to understand the different concepts. With trial and error on each and every single problem I also learned that I don't work best frustrated, and if I start to get upset if a problem isn't perfect to take a break and come back to it. I had to stop halfway through a problem numerous times just to calm down and collect my thoughts. If I spent too much time on an unsolvable problem, then I was wasting time that I could use to create a new problem. I was glad I managed to spread my work out over the course of a couple weeks rather than a single day because it would have been near impossible. Overall, this was a unique project that tested my knowledge over the span of the trimester. I found this project to be useful to me because I gained responsibility with relying on myself to construct problems in an efficient manner, yet having beneficial information within the problems. I hope to continue to expand on intriguing topics in mathematics.
