Today our teacher informed us that we would soon choose a PBL project based on principles of either science or math.
We are to execute and present our projects in a way that is like a science fair project. My assigned guidelines and the results would be on a website via the internet, or with a poster board in display.

After a week of thought, I have decided to choose a project that emphasizes functions, mainly because I am more interested in them. I have referred to my math teacher for advice. He has told me that the most famous function principle, is most likely to be equations and ordered pairs.

I have chosen to follow my teachers advice, and I have chosen to create cartoons for linear and quadratic functions. I will be drawing cartoons, involving equations and ordered pairs through linear and quadratic functions. *And I have to add a humor.

I have done my research in linear and quadratic functions and gathered some examples of equations and ordered pairs to solve through my poster. I have also thought of ideas to add some humor into my cartoons. Then I started to draft my cartoons and how I would want it to look on the actual poster.

I went to Walmart and purchased 2 posters, (one in case i messed up) and some markers and color pencils to illustrate my creations of my cartoons.

The materials I used for my cartoons were, posters, some colors, a pencil, a ruler, and a notebook. It took me a whole weekend to finish it because I had to start off with a pencil and ruler to draw out every single box, involving words, drawings, and equations and ordered pairs. Then I had to trace all of my work it with my markers, and color them. Then finally I erased all the pencil marks.

I have realized that creating cartoons for linear and quadratic equations by myself was a challenge and took lots of my effort into working on it. But It was finally completed and done and was ready to turn so my teacher could have a look into it.

After being informed that we have make a video for our PBL project, I realized that, I need to be ready to be presentable for myself and to present my project.

Today, I completed my social studies connection. I was was surprised that I finished I finally finished it. This was most probably due to the fact that I was so engaged int the topic. I like the fact that functions were discovered by many different people in many different parts of history and the past. This is what engaged in me the most about functions.
