Project
At some point after we have completed chapter 4, we will possibly be doing
an cumulative project. Students will
need to be familiar with several types of graphs, including linear, quadratic,
exponential, and logarithmic functions.
To see a very basic sample of the project, see the following Power Point Project Sample
(AAT).
