Throughout the first semester, we have gone over two major units in math. The first is the Health/Wealth project we did where we learned about our current healthcare system and also about probability. We created our own fake citizen that had a different race, sex, age, income, and medical history than us. All of these were factored into how much healthcare would cost for them. We had a group of four different people and that formed our "country." We had to create a reasonable price for insurance that everyone would be able to afford using the probability that they would get a sickness/disease. Below is the link to my portfolio for that unit.
The second unit we did was the patterns unit in which we learned about finding patterns in math, as well as other things such as linear equations and summation notation. Below is the link to my portfolio for the patterns unit.
