Name of Assignment: The Rollercoaster
Subject: Math
Facilitator/Teacher: Ms.Alexander
Description of Work/Assignment:
Students will create a roller coaster ride made up of many functions, making a super funtastic adventure for all. Students must follow the constraints given and using desmos, model a piecewise polynomial function.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
Thinking and problem solving skills because while doing this project we had to undergo a lot of changes because we messed up.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am most proud of the actual rollercoaster we made because I think it looks pretty dope.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
I developed my thinking and problem solving skills by actually solving problems.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult thing about completing this task was remembering the functions that we needed to make the rollercoaster.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different?
If I could start over with this project I would have done a little more research on how the functions worked so I could be more of a valuable asset to the team.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
This relates to other problem solving projects I've had before.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I can apply this to future learning by remembering the process I use for solving problems.
