For this project, I worked in a group of three to explore and understand transformations of sinusoids through creative and analytical tasks. We began by completing the Project Launch Packet together, ensuring we solved all the problems collaboratively before checking our answers. This packet served as a helpful study guide for the quiz on sinusoidal modeling.
Next, we tackled the creative part of the project—ENGAGE Task 2—where we wrote and recorded a spoken word poem to help remember sinusoidal transformations. Each member of the group participated in the performance, and we aimed to make it both educational and more engaging than Dr. KM’s example.
Throughout the week, we focused on completing EXPLORE Task 3, which involved solving all required questions related to sinusoidal modeling. While we didn’t pursue the optional bonus problems, we ensured the core assignment was done thoroughly and accurately.
For PRESENT Task 5, we worked together to design a digital poster that summarized our learning. Each group member contributed to its content and uploaded the final version to their own digital portfolio.
This project helped me better understand sinusoidal transformations through teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving.
We recently completed a project focused on sea level rise and regression, building on concepts we learned in AP Pre-Calculus. Using charts, we analyzed sea level trends and regression data in locations like Tybee Beach. To wrap up the project, we summarized our findings and presented them in a video, which can be viewed below. Additionally, both documents we created during the project are available for review.
In this section, I reviewed my basic understanding of functions by exploring real-world phenomena through a variety of exploratory tasks. I progressed by using a project-based learning framework to investigate function modeling in the context of sea level rise in coastal Georgia. Using original tidal data from Fort Pulaski, I applied regression analysis to make sense of my findings.
In this section, I explored modeling in the context of sea level rise in coastal Georgia using original tidal data from Fort Pulaski in Savannah, GA. I used regression analysis to compare the actual (verified) and predicted sea water levels.
