Systems of Equations

For this unit in math we learned about systems of equations and how to graph equations. We started off by learning about what project we would be doing. The project for this unit was to figure out what kind of cell phone plan you need and compare that plan from three different companies using linear equations and graphs focusing mostly on data usage. This was a partner project so I worked with Hannah because we both had similar wants for a phone plan.

To do this project we had to learn the math needed to complete it so we spent a couple of weeks doing lessons and practicing the math. Once we felt confident with our math skills we started the project. We started off by collaborating on researching the different phone plans that suited our needs. We decided to focus on a plan from Bell, Telus, and Fido. We figured out the math and graphed everything we needed. We then put it into a slide show so we could present it to the class. Here is our slide show.

I really enjoyed this project. Working with Hannah helped me improve my strengths and abilities and relationship skills. I really liked the work we had to do because it helped me improve my skills of analyzing. I also enjoyed presenting the project in front of the class and getting feedback. Mini projects like this are very fun and a good way to use the math skills we just learned.
