The project used several formulas from the unit, such as, slope formula, slope-intercept form, point-slope form, distance formula, and systems of equations. The students also wrote an Expository essay about their project. \r\n\r\nAt the beginning, students were excited and wanted to spend time drawing their attractions. As they got into the calculations using the points, slope and distance, they realized the project became a bit more challenging. They discovered that if they calculated slope incorrectly, it would throw off the calculations for the following equations. \r\n\r\nStudents had a timeline to follow, so their project could be completed in a timely manner. The finished posters were hung in the classroom for all students to view through a Gallery Walk. \r\n\r\nThe supplies (rulers, poster-sized grid paper, white cardstock paper, whiteboards, and more) provided by the donors was very helpful for the students in working on and completing this project.","fullyFundedDate":1725847772050,"projectUrl":"project/a-montana-mountain-hideaway/8751316/","projectTitle":"A Montana Mountain Hideaway","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kumm","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9737559"},{"teacherId":9709647,"projectId":8778887,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the donations!
