◽ I change the "requirements of the roller coaster each year
◽ The packet is assigned in sections, after the appropriate lessons
◽ 1/2 day was spent in class on playing with zeroes in the Desmos calculator
◽ DO NOW activities were used for guiding questions such as "what does an imaginary zero factor look like"
◽ 1 day was spent in class working on the project
◽ The project takes approximately 3 - 4 weeks. Introduce in the beginning of the unit.
◽ We have our unit assessment before to projects are due. Students continue to work on projects during the next unit (Radicals and Rational Exponents) of which has no Steam project dedicated to.
This project was adapted for an Algebra II/Trigonometry class from the following sources:
