Linear Landscape for exhibition
Equations
A: x=5 (Vertical)
B: y=1 (Horizontal)
C: y-1=7/5(x-1) (Point-slope)
D: y>-7/5x+16.5 (Inequality)
E: y=3/7x-13.3 (Slope-Intercept)
F: 7x+4y=120 (Standard)
G: x/-15/2+y/15=1 (Intercept)
Reflection
The purpose of this project was to familiarize us with points, lines, slopes, and the six forms of linear equations. I would change nothing about this project.
Questions
1. What was most challenging about this project?
Applying equations to previously drawn lines.
2. How did you draw the straight lines?
A ruler of course.
3. What gave you the idea to draw pyramids?
I don’t remember.
4. Were these equations difficult to master?
Yes.
5. Did you work with a partner for this project?
No.
6. How long did this project take?
A couple of days in class.

1) Linear landscape project.
2) This shows may ability to apply various equations to lines which I learned in Algebra 2.
3) I learned how to apply various equations to lines.
Post Exhibition Questions
1) What would you do differently if you were exhibiting your project again?
Exhibit it relatively soon after creating it instead of months afterwards.
2) What do you see as your greatest strenghts and weaknesses moving forwarrd into future math classes?
I have some fundamental problem solving skills and I fail to understand importance and relevance of this abstract type of math without any logical, everyday real-world application that is relevant for the majority of our population.

Semester Exam project
In this project students were assigned to create revenant test questions based on the content previously explored this semester. We needed 3 easy 3 medium and 3 hard problems and one ridiculous. I thought this project was creative however I do not think math should be incorporated in project based learning. I plan to study for the exam by going through my math book and looking at all the example lessons for the content we have learned. This semester in math has been very challenging because of all the unfamiliar content and because of the many different teachers that taught it.
My Problems:
1) Evaluate the power. 1.2 (easy)
42=
2) Perform indicated operation. 1.3 (easy)
3-(-4)=
3) Graph the equation. 2.5 (easy)
y=2x-5
4) Factor the equation. 5.4 (medium)
x2+3x+2
5) Write in standard form. 4.6 (medium)
(3-1i)(4+2i)
6) Solve the equation by completing the square. 4.7 (medium)
x2-4x+50=0
7) Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. 4.8 (hard)
8x2+6=x2-14x
8) Write answer in scientific notation. 5.1 (hard)
(4.2 x 105)(6.2 x 10-12)
9) Find the number of permutations. 10.1 (hard)
8P4
10) Solve for x. (extreme)
x2=2704
