8.EE.8.A Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously.
8.EE.8.C Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair.
1) Rewrite the standard in your own words. How does this assignment relate to the standard?
8.EE.8.A says that we need to understand that the solution of two liner equations is the point where the two equation intersect when graphed.
This project related to the assignment because to finish this assignment I needed to calculated the solution by graphing the two inequalities. Another way this project related to the standard is because the project was based on "real-world "problems. This protect made me solve for which plan would fit the best for people in different situations.
2) What are the steps you took to complete and do well on this assignment?
the first step I took was to solve the packet i received in class. This packet gave us data on tow wireless companies. With the data I need to graph inequalities and solve which one would be the best choice. I then transferred all the information in my packet to the poster board.
3) This assignment demonstrates the following strengths...
This assignment demonstrates that I understand how to write and graph inequalities. It also shows that I know how to solve for the solution of two linear equations by morphing. The assignment also shows that I can solve the real world mathematical problems.
4) I could have improved my work on this assignment by...
I could have improved my work by reading the instructions better. In the instructions it said to out number 11 on the poster board. However, I didn't so I got points off. Another mistake that I made was that I didn't write the inequalities correctly.
5) How will you apply the skills you learned from this assignment in either the real world when you are an adult or in other classes while you are still a student?
In the real world I can use the skills in this project in many ways. The first way is if I am on a budget and I need to save money I can use a similar way to find which plan would be cheaper. Not only that but whenever I write an report on two different sets of data I can use the skills I learned to make graphs.
