DEV Project Lauren and Lindsey

Lindsey- We tried to chose one type of problem from each lesson that we did. We both chose some of the problems that we found difficult throughout this trimester. I chose to do one of the story problems that I really struggled with at the beginning of the class. I had a hard time finding out how to convert 60 mph into inches per second. Explaining how to do this step by step helped my understanding a lot! And now on our last test I understood how to do it much better than when we first had tests on those problems. This assignment is very stressful because you have to make sure your problems are correct and we had to change our problems a few different times to make them fully correct. Teaching someone else how to solve a problem really helps your understanding, this is definitely a project that all math classes should be required to do. Lauren- Lindsey and I did the DEV project together. We both made a couple problems that we could chose from. We made problems that we understood the most. With each of these problems, they challenged us because we made them hard and complicated. It took us awhile to figure out each step and also how to teach each step. Each of the problems we chose are from different units. There are maybe 2 from the same unit, but we tried to get a variety of problems. This assignment did help me. I learned how to do a step by step problem that I did not really know how to do. The ones Lindsey did I did not know how to do that well so I learned how to, and the same goes for Lindsey. I liked this project and thought it was very helpful for me.
