Kathryn, Odi, and Ravneet's Project

For our project Ravneet, Odi and I decided to make an EVT test. At first we thought we could get this done quickly, but we found out that making a test was going to be much harder than we expected. First we had to come up with fifteen problems covering different standards in algebra. Instead of plugging in numbers though we had to represent the numbers with letters (For example ax+by=c instead of 3x+4y=12). We then had to define our variables and make our equations, wrong, and correct answers. If we did all of this correctly we could press a button to the side of our problem, the variables of my problem would then change, but the principal would still be the same (believe me this was harder than it sounds). The hardest part of making the test was finding the correct answer to our problems while in letter form. If we messed up on this then our entire problem would be wrong. The process of making and writing the problems was a little time consuming but after repeating the steps we began to get the hang of it and pick up the test. Now we have a good handle on making EVT tests. Once we got going making the test began to be a lot of fun.
