I am so proud of the dedication, creativity, and drive the (PreAP) Algebra 2 PECHS students have taken to create memorable projects. The students were to choose a chapter or unit from the Algebra 2 text and create a real life application project that included research, references, content with mathematical application, and a student interactive activity. Additionally, students were evaluated on presentation of material and had to complete an executive style proposal. This proposal included project goals and objectives, project research and background, statement of work detailing step by step procedures, a reflection, and must be presented in a portfolio with a professional appearance.
If you set high expectations, the students will meet them. Please enjoy a few of the projects below. Mrs. Baker
