Name of Assignment: Linear Programming
Subject: Math
Facilitator/Teacher: Ms. Alexander
Description of Work/Assignment:
My group worked to solve real world problems relating to everything we had learned in quarter 1.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
This project best used financial, economic, and business literacy skills. I used them to apply what I learn in math to real world money problems.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am most proud of my ability to perservere I was faced with something I didn't understand. I ended up having to get help from my group to better understand the topic, but now it makes sense and I am confident I could do it again.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
I developed my financial, economic, and business literacy skills by using real world problems that may not affect me but I will likely use the same method to solve a problem in almost any career path.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult part for me was understanding what the question was asking. I am not very good at understand word problems, I am much better with clear number questions.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
This relates to all of the silly word problems I needed in elementary school where Billy has fifty watermelons because it helped me look for clues in the text that would help me formulate equations.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I can apply this to future leaning since I would like to work with animals so I will likely need to take science and math courses that will use real world examples.
