Mrs. Johnson's 8th grade math students had the opportunity to choose between a variety of projects to showcase the skills they have learned over the course of the year. Students could create grid drawings with scale factor, create logos with slope, plan a dinner party for 10 guests, or create a pythagorean spiral. Some students went above and beyond and brought some of their menu items to share with the class.
