Talk the Talk In Algebra 2
Unit 1 Project
As we move forward in Algebra, it is important that everyone can talk the same math language and understand terminology. Unit 1 is FULL of vocabulary that you should already know from prior math classes. This is your opportunity to show your understanding of this vocabulary (and/or learn something new) through the project. Due: Friday, February 7, Quiz Grade Project Description and Requirements: Find any TEN vocabulary words from Chapter 1 and 2 in your textbook, and/or from your notes. For each word, include a definition AND an example of the word being used in a math situation. The example should show everyone why it is important to understand this word as we continue our journey forward in math. Create some sort of display for the information you have collected for each word. Your display can be a poster board, a computer presentation, a website, or other methods of display that can be shared with the teacher. Please review the rubric on the second page. After you create your presentation, you are to SELF ASSESS before turning in using the rubric. Self-Assessment: Please self score your project based on the rubric on the next page. Record you scores in the space provided below. Failing to complete the self-assessment will result in a 2-point reduction in the project’s overall grade.
