The investigation that we have undertaken in Baker's Choice has been to explore constraints on a graph and how we are to find the maximum profit. We looked at various situations like selling artwork and diet restrictions of children. We wanted to look at the graphical forms as well as the algebraic work of things.
Aside from our study of the content of the unit, this portfolio has been constructed to examine student work and algebraic thinking. We have been investigating how to better nurture a learning environment that is more open ended rather than closed and secluded with a set answer. We have been using the problems from Baker's Choice to accomplish this, hence the work in this portfolio, but the growth the work has provided is expressed richly in all reflections on the materials covered.
