Teacher Notes

◽ Project was introduced at the beginning of the Unit to promote interest

◽ After some lessons we discussed components of the project that were associated.

◽ Students tended to forget to cite their sources

◽ 1 day was spent in class on brainstorming and research

◽ 1 day was spent in class on the basics of Profit/ Revenue / Break Even Point

◽ 1 day was spent in class playing with Desmos

◽ Many students did not distribute correctly when subtracting R(X) - C(X) to obtain their profit function.

◽ On project day students were required to dress in business casual attire

◽ We used poll everywhere to decide if we wanted to "Invest" or "not" for entertainment (not for a grade), at the end of their presentations.
