Purpose

We were put into groups to create our own linear system and show how to solve the solution using algebra and graphing.

Curricular response

My group chose a solution randomly first before graphing the lines. We graphed 2 positive horizonal lines based off were we put the solution. When choosing the where the lines when, we made sure it went through the solution and the Y Intercept was a whole number. When finding the solution algebraically, we first had to find both equations of the line. When choosing which method to use, we started with addition but struggled with the fractions. Therefore, we changed to substitution method which was a much easier option since we could see Y was already isolated. Our first step was to get rid of the brackets. When we solved for X and Y, we made sure it was the same solution as our graph.

Core competency self-assessment

I find it easy to be part of a group, because its easy to work with people who are at the same level of understanding with me. I like how in this assignment everyone worked together and we could ask each other for other opinions and ideas. I participate in class room activities that improves the class, I fully contributed into this project, giving my thought and ideas while also listening to others. I recognize different part of views and can disagree respectfully. I was able to listen to people give ideas, yet I was able to explain why they were wrong.
