For example, one standard talks about graphing linear and quadratic functions. I can use the tactile learning style by having my students set up a table with a given domain and evaluate a function by inputting numbers to find the range. Students would then plot points on a graph on the coordinate plane. Here, the visual learning style would be employed because students would see, for example, the difference in the graph of a linear function vs. a quadratic function. I would use the audio learning style by explaining step by step what we are accomplishing.

Connecticut Standards for Mathematics
The common core state standards for high school mathematics in Connecticut are separated into conceptual categories. I chose to focus on the Algebra conceptual category. The obvious reason that I chose Algebra is that I teach Algebra. In particular, I would like to focus on the section "creating equations".
For example, one standard talks about graphing linear and quadratic functions.

Students would then plot points on a graph on the coordinate plane.

Great! I think you will find many opportunities to create projects in this class that address equations.
