Place your name next to your comment here || **Comments ** || There are a couple of red questions in the area below you did not address on your page. Could you take a minute and fill these out it would be very helpful to the grant. If you have any questions feel free to email or call me. We are hoping that everyone has this done by June 8th. I will watch your responses here and if you need more information... I will let you know later next week. Thanks again... Suebe ||

 * Sue Becker || Cathy... I like both of these ideas. How can I help you. Do you need resources to use with the students? If you could email me or call me and I would be happy to help with your project. ||
 * Sue Becker || Cathy... how is this going? Love the project and hope it is going well. Any chance you will be taking any video or photos with your iPad to show us how it is going? Thanks for all you are doing. Great job! ||
 * Sue Becker || Hi Cathy...
 * Cathy Collins || Sue, how do I upload pictures from my iPad to this document? Nevermind, I think I figured it out 😄. ||

Place your Final Open Ended Project Proposal Here --

 * __ Project Proposal - __ Students will use what they have learned about graphing to create a stained glass using the TI 84 graphing calulator. **


 * Name: Cathy Collins **


 * School: ** Lima Senior High School - Progressive Academy


 * Grade Level and Class: ** 11th & 12th Pre- Calculus


 * Estimated time for development and implementation (if possible): ** 6 days


 * Project Goal(s) and Objectives: ** By the end of the project, students will be able to show the following using a TI-84 graphing calculator:
 * Graphs of linear relations
 * Graphs of non linear relations
 * Graphs of Trigonometric functions using radian or degree measures
 * Determine if a relation is a function
 * The use of algebraic tests to determine if the graph of a relation is symmetrical
 * Determine and graph inverses of relations and functions


 * Content Objectives: **
 * Determine whether a relation is a function.
 * Graph linear, non linear, trigonometric equations, and inverses.
 * Investigate symmetry.


 * Description of the Project: ** Students will create a linear, non linear, and trigonometric relation and determine if it is a functions. Next, students will graph their relations and determine if one of the relations is symmetrical using algebra. Students will need to determine the inverse equation for one of the above relations and show how they found this. By using the graphing calculator, students will see what their graphs would look like combined. Finally, students will sketch their equations on grid paper and use paint to create a stained glass of their graphs on a picture frame.


 * Considerations **
 * Student Learning Outcomes: By the end of this project 80% of my students will be able to show how to find the inverse function and determine symmetry for a linear, non-linear, or trigonometric equations.
 * Mathematical Content: Determine whether a relation is a function; graph linear, non linear, trigonometric equations, and inverses; investigate symmetry.use
 * Pedagogical Considerations: Research shows that the use of Bloom's Taxonomy increases students' critical thinking skills. This project allows students to analyze various types ofgraphs.


 * Technology Chosen and Why: TI-84 graphing calculator. I choose this tool because I wanted students to be able to know how to use this tool correctly. This tool would help them visualize what their graphs would look like without the color. **


 * Instructional and/or Technical Support You will Request from District Staff: **


 * Implementation Timeline (if appropriate): Thursday - Tuesday with 40 minutes class period **


 * Project Submission Information should be updated as needed. **

Project Report Update by May 1st. Please try to update by answering the following questions regarding your Open Ended Project.
It is our hope that you will be updating your wiki progress at least 2 times during the next few months.

After you have begun to implement your project, please submit revisions here. Use this set of short questions to help guide you in your reporting about your progress. These include:

// TPACK's role in my activity relates to the use of technological content knowledge section of the venn diagram. Student's used technology to see what there equations would look like before they placed them on there glass. This allowed them to change there equations if needed. // // I need to learn how to graph equations and be able to guide my students through this task as well. //
 * TPACK consideration
 * 21st Century skill development

I feel that I have addressed differentiation with my students in regards to this project. I am very pleased with the way this project algins with the Math objectives for Pre- Calculus. I can demonstrate that my learning plan was working because every student completed a stained glass; however, 2 of my students did did not complete the entiremathematics that was required.
 * Differentiation, digital natives or other course concepts
 * Alignment with Math objectives
 * Transformative evidence of how this may or may not be working

I chose the TI-84 graphing calculator so that students would learn how to use techonlogy to support what they have learned. This project is also preparing them to be able to use the TI-84 grahing calculato quickly on the ACT. Due to my observations and students preesentations, students could describe to me how they used the TI-84 calculators to graph equations, show table of values for these graphs, and use these graphs and points to determine if the graphs and their inverses were functions. What did not work for me was that I should have only allowed all students to paint otherein glass until they showed me all of their work. I had a couple of students who did not complete the mathematical part of the project with at least and 80 percent or higher.
 * Reasoning for your choice of technology
