Directions for Summative Assignment #1: Student Designed Test and

Solutions Manual Project with Presentation
This is the final project for this unit. Congratulations! Please follow the directions below as
you develop your very own test and present your test questions and solutions to the class!
You will be working in groups of 3. Best of luck to you!

Directions for Test:

1. With your partners, you will have one class period to formulate your own test that
will reflect all the material we have learned in this unit. You will create 3 problems
total and each problem will conform to the specifications below:
i. Problem 1 should be a 2D Application Problem
ii. Problem 2 should be a 3D Application Problem
iii. Problem 3 should be a Coordinate Plane Application Problem
2. Format each problem the following way:
i. First state the givens: These are the knowns in the problem. Your problem
must give enough information, so that it can be solved.
ii. Then show a sketch of a diagram to represent the problem (This can be
hand sketched or you can design your own image using word or excel or
another teacher approved sketching program).
iii. Then state what need to be solved for. Use words such as Find or
Solve for.

3. Include a solution set, which shows the problem solved from start to finish. Also
make sure the answer is boxed.

4. Once you are done with you test, you will present on it! Read the below directions
for your presentation.

Directions for Group Presentation:

Once you have completed your own design of the test, you will have another class period to
prepare your presentation. Use this time wisely with your group to make sure you are
prepared!

1. With your same group, work together to prepare a short PowerPoint presentation
that will display to the class your 3 test problems.
2. Make 1 slide for each question, and 1 slide for each answer. You will have a total of 6
slides on the content.
3. Create an intro slide, which introduces your team members.

4. Make sure that your slide contains a picture for each test problem. The picture
should accurately represent the problem.
5. Finalize presentation and practice giving the presentation with your group. Each
person will have to talk about 1 problem, and explain how the problem works, and
how they developed the problem, and why they think this is a good test problem for
other students. You will have up to 57 minutes to present your presentation.

Example Problem: You can see one of my problems below to give a sense of how I expect
problems to be formatted.
