Blog Algebra Project

Good morning visionaries!!!

Now that you have introduced yourself on the blog and reflected on , it is time to put some actual math on the Math B blog. Today you will be working with a partner, so you should choose another person you want to work with on the project. Your project will focus on one of the topics we have been studying in Math B so far:

(1) Vocabulary
(2) GPS
(3) FOIL
(4) Factoring - GCF and Perfect Squares
(5) Factoring - BOX Method
(6) Solving Linear Equations
(7) Solving Quadratic Equations (factoring)
(8) Equation of a Line and Graphing

Each group MUST choose a different topic, and the groups that get my attention properly first will get priority.

You will be typing up your project in Microsoft Word today. Here is the format you should follow:

(1) Title of project
(2) Names of team members (real names, not nicknames)
(3) Introductory paragraph (5-15 sentences) - introduce your topic, define it, write out steps used for that type of problem, write out real world examples, etc.
(4) Five examples that YOU solve
(5) Ten problems that you DO NOT solve (the class will!)
(6) Conclusion (5-15 sentences) - discuss your blog posting, with references to the examples that you solved

Since there are SIX different parts to the project, each team member should be working on a DIFFERENT part - no one should be sitting at their laptop with nothing to do today.

Save your work to the student server, and we will be back in the lab tomorrow so you can post your work on the blog.

Happy Blogging!

Mrs. Collins
