Final Algebra II Exhibition
1. What project are you exhibiting?
I will be exhibiting the linear landscape project where students used linear equations to create a picture of some kind on a graph.
2. What does this project represent what you have learned in Algebra II?
This project was a good review of graphing because it combined math with art and reviewed the six forms of linear equations (standard, vertical, horizontal, slope-intercept, point-slope and intercept.) We were asked to make a picture on a graph by drawing a sketch, then plotting points on it to make equations. After that, we took the points and equations and drew the final picture.
3. What have you learned about yourself while doing this project?
Through this project, I've learned that the best way for me to review math concepts is through artwork and looking back at the whole year, I can say that the projects have been my favorite part.

REFLECTION
1) What would you do differently if you were exhibiting your project again?
I wouldn't change how I exhibited this project if I were to do it again because I had a good time at exhibition and everybody that I talked to seemed to understand everything that I talked about.
2) What do you see as your greatest strengths and weaknesses moving forward into future math classes?
I hope to improve my test taking skills next year in math class. More specifically, I would like to spend more time studying and reviewing concepts before a big test, more so than I did this year. However, I think my strength moving forward is that I will complete my homework assignments in time and ask the teacher any questions I have to understand all the concepts I will be taught.

Semester Exam Project
For this semester’s math project, each individual wrote math problems ranging from a variety of concepts we have studied thus far. All the problems were then sorted by difficulty and topic and are now being approved for the final exam. I thought this was a pretty cool way of allowing the students to take “their education into their own hands.” I actually had a lot of fun coming up with 10 math questions because it was interesting way to study for the exam, as well as allowing me to become as creative as I could through math, which is something I really love about my math classes.
As for furthering my study of the materials for the final exam, I am reading the notes I took and completing practice problems shown in the math textbook. I hope that these techniques, among others (studying with peers, attending office hours), will prepare me for the final exam next week.
Looking back on this whole semester, I am really satisfied about how this class has panned out. Algebra has always been my favorite math subject, and although I did run into some challenging concepts, I was able to understand everything, with the help of my teacher, Effi, and my classmates. The part I really enjoyed about this class so far was the Landscape Project, where students used all six forms of linear equations to create a picture of some kind on a graph. It was a good review of graphing for me and, because of the art element, I was able to connect with the math concepts more.

Landscape Project
This was a fun start-of-the-year project in which we reviewed graphing concepts. Below is my final project.
