David

For the DEV project I was put in charge of doing two problems; a factoring, and long division problem. I chose to do these problems because they are the problems I most understand. I would not be doing my favor by trying to accomplish one I do not understand such as a profit equation. I tried to make the problems challenging but understandable. By proving I can do a these problems, was confidence was boosted knowing I was of use in this project. I really enjoyed this project because it allows the students to go beyond the "solving a math problem" and use it in the real world with creativity. It's different from what you normally see and it allows for a bit of a mentality booster if you are willing to go the distance.

I chose to complete the profit function and the equation that found the amount of time it took to drop an object from the tops of the trees to the ground. I chose these equations because I like to think more on the logical side of things in math and when I can pertain what I am learning to the real world, it seems to click a little bit more to me. I’ve learned a lot from this trimester in Pre-calculus…more or less relearning most of the concepts…word of advice for everyone, never skip a year of math! It’s not worth it!

I chose to complete the square and to express the area of an extreme. I looked at the movie script we drew up and tried to think of 2 problems that can go along with the movie and that I am capable of doing. The extreme function seemed to make sense because finding how much ground to cover would seem to be helpful in a very tough “game” as such. I also chose to complete the square because it was one of the units in this class that I could understand because there was a right and wrong answer with a way to check if you were wrong. However, completing the square seemed a little simple, so I threw in the extra step of adding more unneeded numbers to cancel out. It gave this problem an extra step as I have learned as many of the problems in this class has needed. I learned more about the used problems because I learned how to use them in the outside world, and gave me a little more understanding about them. I enjoyed this project and learned a lot from it. Not just math and ability to solve, but character and learning to use trial and error in life making this project one of my favorites ever.
