Cell Phone Plan Project
1) Rewrite the standard in your own words. How does this assignment relate to the standard?
8.EE.8.A Know that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously. 8.EE.8.C Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. These standards show that it related to the assignment because in this project, I had to use different linear equations and I had to use mathematical equations that were real world problems. In this project, it was a cell phone plan and I had to find out which plan was cheaper.
2) What are the steps you took to complete and do well on this assignment?
The steps I took to complete and do well on this assignment was to first know how to look for the slope of different points. Also, I needed to know what the slope and y-intercept was so that I know what the initial price and the slope was. After I knew all of these, I made graphs to see which plan was cheaper and I had to answer some questions that relate to the project.
3) This assignment demonstrates the following strengths...
This assignment shows that I am good at knowing how to solve for the slope and make points that go along with the slope. Also, this project shows that I know how to graph two equations showing different slopes and y-intercepts. Finally, this project shows that I really understand how to use the equations and they are for and that I can answer questions related to the project.
4) I could have improved my work on this assignment by...
I could have improved on this project by trying to show more work on how I got the points for the graph. Also, I could have tried to make the project more poppy by adding more color and typing out the words. Another thing I can improve on is to organize the project better and show that I really know how to do all of the things I did on the project by adding descriptions on how I solved it.
5) How will you apply the skills you learned from this assignment in either the real world when you are an adult or in other classes while you are still a student?
I will apply the skills I learned from this project in the real world when I need to know what deal is better. By knowing how to solve this, I would not get ripped off and get things for a good price. Another way I can apply the skills I learned from this assignment in the real world is when I have to make a graph to show the data or status of something over time.
