Name of Assignment: Linear Programming Subject: Algebra II Facilitator/Teacher: Mrs. Alexander
Description of Work/Assignment: For this assignment I worked with Daisy and Anuhea to solve real world problems based off of the math we studied during quarter one.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? I feel this assignment best demonstrates Thinking & Problem Solving because when everybody in my group got caught up on a question, I took a step back and found a new way to solve the problem.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I was most proud of how I could find different ways to think about the problem and was then able to help my friends as well.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? I developed and improved my Thinking & Problem Solving Skills because I was able to find new ways to approach a real-world problem.
What was most difficult about completing this task? The most difficult part about completing this assignment was teaching it to my peers, but the best way to learn something is to teach it, so it definitely benefited me.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different? If I could have redone this work I am not sure if I would or could have changed anything because it was very closely guided by my teacher.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? This relates to a lot of my Algebra I work because the lesson was mainly adding onto what we learned in freshman year, but this also made it more challenging because we only got 3/4 of the way through the course. How can you apply this to future learning? I can apply this because I have a lot of trouble with word problems so it it more practiced and something similar will likely be used in my real life at some point.
