There are several goals in project 13. The first goal is to learn how to create an organized assignment utilizing project based learning. The second is to learn how to convey what our project is, why we are using it, and what standards the project will meet. The final goal is to learn all of these things by creating/utilizing a project and creating a way to present the project to a principal.
I find that it is important to list these goals for two reasons. One, it would be hard for someone to understand what I accomplished with this assignment without knowing what the overall goals were. And two, the hardest part about this project for me was understanding what these goals were.
I must therefore also confess that I did very little in this group project. Not that I didn’t want to work on it more, but I was a little inhibited. I went to New York for the weekend for my birthday, which was incredibly fun. Unfortunately, we were not finished with the project before I left, like I had anticipated we would be. This isn’t because we were lazy, but rather because we were a little unsure of what we were supposed to do. By the time they had figured it out, I was in New York and was busy exploring. I was a bit busier than I predicted, and before I could get a hold of the project again, my group had pretty much finished everything.
I am very thankful to them and thus wanted it to be understood that they deserve a majority of this credit. Thank you so much Jamie and Savannah.
Our project focused is for a geometry math class for high school students. We utilized a project created by Sue Hausrath called Geo Soccer. The project is used to get students to exhibit their geometric skills by creating a shot analysis and sketches on how coaches can maximize their player’s chance at scoring goals. They exhibit this by utilizing the students’ knowledge of angles, lines, planes, and relations between sine, cosine, and tangent. The link below provides a calendar and an overview for this project in a way my group would present it to a principal.
