    The document describes a project for an Honors Algebra 2 class where students create a polynomial function based on the digits of their birthday and analyze its characteristics. Students are instructed to (1) identify the digits of their birthdate, (2) create a polynomial using those digits, (3) experiment with signs to create an interesting graph, (4) analyze the polynomial's domain, range, zeros, minimums/maximums, and behavior, (5) present their work in a technology-based presentation including the graph and analysis, and (6) will be graded based on the accuracy of their polynomial, completeness of their analysis, and accuracy/neatness of their presentation.

    Honors Algebra 2 Name:

    Unit 7 Period:

    The Birthday Polynomial Project

    Task: To create, characterize, graph, and present a polynomial function that reflects you.

    Process:

    1. Identify IN ORDER the digits of the month (1 or 2 digits), day (1 or 2 digits), and year (4 digits) of your
    birthday. For example, I was born on August 3, 1985, so my ordered birthday digits are “831985.” (The most
    number of digits you could have is 8, and the least number of digits you could have is 6).

    2. Create a polynomial using your digits in order. Again, for example, my polynomial could be:
    y 8x 5 3x 4 x 3 9x 2 8x 5

    3. Experiment with the shape of your birthday polynomial by changing the signs of your various terms. Try to
    create a polynomial function with an interesting shape and some turning points. Be creative! Find a polynomial
    having a graph that expresses you.

    4. Analyze your polynomial by finding these characteristics:


    Domain and range
    The y-intercept
    All real and complex zeros
    Minimums and maximums
    A description of the end behavior

    Product:

    5. Make a presentation using technology (PowerPoint, Keynote, Desmos, etc.) of your polynomial.
    Be creative, colorful, neat, and accurate

    At a minimum, your presentation should include a visual representation of the graph of your polynomial and a
    written statement of your findings in Part 4, above.

    Assessment:

    6. Your grade will be weighted as a Quiz. Your score will be based on three criteria:
    The accuracy of your polynomial
    The completeness and accuracy of your analysis
    The accuracy, neatness, originality, and creativity of your presentation

    The Birthday Polynomial Project

    Standard: A.SSE.1.a - Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients.

    A.APR.b.3 - Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the
    zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial.

    F.IF.7 - Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in
    simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.

    F.IF.4 - For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of
    graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal
    description of the relationship.

    F.IF.8 - Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and
    explain different properties of the function.

    A.CED.2 - Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities;
    graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.

    N.CN.8 - Extend polynomial identities to the complex numbers. For example, rewrite x2 + 4 as (x +
    2i)(x - 2i).

    Task: To create, characterize, graph, and present a polynomial function that reflects you.
