Algebra II: Quarter 1 Project

Algebra II: Quarter 1 Project

______

Name: ______Final Due Date: ______

Group Members:______

Purpose: For this project, you will be working as a group of two or three to design a tri-fold brochure or an alternate display that will summarize what you have learned during your study of the unit on linear equations and inequalities (Chapter 2!). You may not work on this project alone.

Technology Requirements: The use of technology is required in order to complete this project. You have a number of options available to you.

1) Word Document/Microsoft Publisher: There are brochure templates available.

2) Microsoft Powerpoint

3) Glogster: You may create an online poster.

4) Video

5) Prezi: You may create an interactive powerpoint.

6) Other: Must be approved by Mrs. Miller

Team Members: All team members must play an active role in completing this project. Each person will take responsibility for completing certain “jobs.” In order to ensure that this happens, each team member will grade the other member of their team at the end of the project using a peer evaluation form.

Project Requirements: The following information must be included on your project:

• Cover Page: For any method, you must include a title, date, and the names of the group members.

• Vocabulary Section: The first six terms are required if you are working in a group of two. If working in a group of three, all words are required. These vocabulary terms must be defined in your own words! The definitions can be placed on one panel of a brochure, one slide of a PowerPoint, a section in the poster, or can be integrated into the presentation in some way.

• Relation
• Domain
• Range
• Function
• Slope
• X-Intercept/Y-Intercept
• Slope-Intercept Form
• Standard Form
• Perpendicular

• Descriptions Section: If working in a group of two, you may choose four of the following topics to place on your project. If working in a group of three, you must include all of the following topics.

• Slope
• Give two points. Find the slope of the line.
• Make a graph of a line. Find the slope of the line.
• Write an equation of a line. Find the slope of the line.
• Slope-Intercept Form
• Give a slope and a y-intercept. Write an equation in slope-intercept form.
• Give a slop and a point. Write an equation in slope-intercept form.
• Give two points. Write an equation in slope-intercept form.
• Standard Form
• Give an equation in slope-intercept form with fractions.Write an equation in standard form.
• Give an equation in slope-intercept form with decimals. Write an equation in standard form.
• Give an equation in point-slope form. Write an equation in standard form.
• X-Intercept & Y-Intercept
• Give an equation in standard form. Find the x- and y-intercepts.
• Give an equation in slope-intercept form. Find the x- and y-intercepts.
• Graphing Linear Equations
• Give a point and the slope of a line. Graph the line.
• Give an equation in slope-intercept form. Graph the line.
• Give an equation in standard form. Graph the line.
• Give the x- and y-intercepts. Graph the line.
• Graphing Linear Inequalities
• Explain the difference between solid and dashed lines.
• Explain how to shade when graphing.
• Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
• Write the equations in slope-intercept form of two parallel lines.
• Write the equations in slope-intercept form or two perpendicular lines.

• Word Problem: Each group will create and design their own real-life word problem. It must be solved, with all work shown, and included on your project.

• Audience: Assume that the audience for this brochure is someone who is not familiar with the information. Be creative. Include all graphs/illustrations necessary to understand your explanation.

• Grading: This project will count as a test grade for Quarter 1. You will graded using the attached rubric as well as your peer evaluation form. Rubric is out of 20 points, and it will be magnified by 5 to compose a full 100 point test grade. Ten points will be deducted from your grade for each day the project is late.
