Assignment: Final Project: What’s Math Gotta Do, Gotta Do With It?

FINANCIAL ALGEBRA A 2026 winter
2026-02-26T21:13:49Z

Due: Mar 11 by 11:59pm

When people talk about their high school math experience I hear a variety of things. Often people argue that math should be more applied to daily life to make it relevant. I’ve seen TikTok’s saying “I wish they would have taught us how to do taxes” and “I wish they taught us about how credit works”. I hope you have learned something useful to your daily life during Financial Algebra. Later this week we will do a reflection to help us (Mrs. Kim and I) make the course better for the next group of students. In the meantime, your final project is a chance to become an expert on one topic you have learned. You can pick something you didn’t quite understand and use this as a chance to make sure you feel confident in it OR you can pick something you want to learn more about and go a little deeper.

In the What’s Math Gotta Do with It? Project you will work to show your learning in a topic of your choice! Your work will be shared with other students, teachers, and staff in a showcase during finals day. We will be inviting people in to circulate, see your work and ask questions. This is an independent project and no two projects should be identical.

You can choose how you want to share your project. For example, you could make a PowerPoint, video, study guide, review poster, game, social media post, infographic, comic,…and it goes on and on and on! It will need to include all the components in the rubric/guide.

DUE DATES:

Tuesday 3/3 and Thursday 3/5: complete your everday skill and math concept boxes on the planning sheet.

Weekend: Gather an supplies you need to bring in to work on your project

Monday 3/9: Complete the example questions, pride, and resource boxes on the planning worksheet.

Tuesday 3/10 and Wednesday 3/11: Create project. Submit by 3/11 by 11:59 pm

Thursday (Finals): Be sure to bring project and come present!
