For our first two problems, we chose to do graphing rationals. This was something both Taylor
and I struggled with throughout the course of this class. We chose these two problems because by
explaining how to do them, we taught ourselves about them more. Especially with the sign chart, we
needed to review on how to graph each problem.
For our third problem, we chose to do a ‘Farmer Ted’ problem. We chose this because it was a
concept that we both enjoyed. It was something that made sense to both of us and we were able to
explain it easier than the other problems.
For our fourth and fifth problems, we did graphing polynomials. This was another concept we
both enjoyed and understood very well. It was easier to explain because we knew what to do.
With this project, I found out that if you know more about a concept, it’s easier and more
enjoyable to teach someone else. With the rationals, that wasn’t my favorite thing, so I didn’t enjoy
explaining it. But on the other hand, I loved Farmer Ted problems and that was both easier and more
enjoyable to do.
