New semester, new things to learn. This semester, my class is finally starting to focus on algebra. But all before starting to learn algebra, we got a research project. What is it about? This project is that we need to do research about our topic, for example, my topic is " how math was invented? " And the result I found of " how math was invented? " is that it was first ever founded at a little village in Africa, used as a tool to arrange the land 5000 years ago. Then, around 300BC Greak people used it as a tool for philosophy and to value the price in the city and for everyone that wents to Greece. And after a few hundred years, Egyptian people used math as a tool to build houses and geometrical items.
After the project, we started to learn algebra, for example, how to make a graph, how to find the slope, and a lot more other skills for solving algebra math. Because my algebra is very bad, my goal for this subject is to improve my grade for the semester ( at least an AB grade ), and now I am on the track to complete my goal, and I hope I can be proud of myself, and my parents can also be proud of me
After this research project, we started to learn different types of algebra, including how to make a graph, how to make an expression, and how to solve an expression. Other with theis, there is a big unit exam, and my score is in the middle of the range, but after the correction, my grade came up to a higher average score, which is 70%. Another one of the big projects is called "algebra event planning project, what we need to do is we need to make a plan for a school to go out for a day of rest. And the project me and one of my friend Ian planed is laser tag. In here, we need to make a poster without using AI, for the purpose of the event. algebra model, data representation, the lowest price, table of the graph, location, and the schedule, event space and floor plan, venue information, and reflection. I will start to talk about this project, clearly starting from later on
I will share my project with you today. It is all about planning and managing outdoor events for students, making the whole process way smoother and more organized. The main purpose of this project is to solve a big problem that a lot of schools and student clubs face. Planning an outdoor event, like a field day or a school picnic, is super stressful because there are so many moving parts, like keeping track of budgets, counting how many students are coming, and figuring out how much food or gear to buy. My project uses math and data to take away the guesswork so that organizers can focus on having fun instead of stressing over the details. To make this work, I created an algebra model. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds! It is basically a set of rules and equations that change based on the number of students. For example, if $x$ represents the total number of students attending, we can write an equation for the total cost. If the park venue costs a flat rate of $150 and food costs $5 per student, our algebra model for the total cost looks like this:
This simple formula allows the system to instantly calculate the total budget, no matter how many people sign up.
Next up is data representation, which is just a fancy way of saying how the project stores and looks at information. Instead of using messy stacks of paper, all the important details are organized neatly. This includes things like student names, permission slip status, food allergies, and payment records. By keeping this data clean and structured, the system can quickly find what it needs without getting confused.
This brings us to the solution. The actual solution is a digital tool or system that takes the algebra model and the student data and combines them. When a student signs up, the system automatically updates the food list, checks the budget equation, and tells the organizer exactly how much money is left. It acts like a smart assistant that does all the hard math and organizing in the background, ensuring the event doesn't run out of money or supplies.
Finally, I want to talk about how we can look at this information visually. Even though I am not showing the actual charts right now, my project includes a structured guide that outlines different graphs. This guide explains how a line graph can show how the total cost goes up as more students join, or how a pie chart can display the breakdown of event expenses, like what percentage of money went to food versus games. It helps organizers see the big picture at a glance so they can make smart decisions for a successful event.
