     One of the projects that I did during Math Class was the Math Counts Video Challenge. In the project, we have to make a video that talks about a realistic situation that could be put into a math problem. I worked with three other classmates, which makes a group of four. This was our problem: "Three kids want to buy whiteboard sets, the prices are the following, 1 set for $3, 2 for $5, and 5 for $9. If they have $48 dollars to spend. How many scoops of whiteboard sets do they get?" The answer that we got was 26 sets. If you buy 5 groups of 5 whiteboard sets (25 sets), (each 9 dollars, so if we guy 5 groups, we will spend $45) you will spend $45, so you need to spend 3 more dollars. And you can spend your $3 by buying one more whiteboard set. So now you will have 26 whiteboard sets and you have spent $48 dollars.

 

     In this project, we had a lot of complications with the project, such as having all of our footage deleted, some problems with the props, and some problems with the math problem and with the camera. But, in the end, I got a good grade on the assignment. So I think it really shows that I can do good on my assignment even if I have a lot of complications. It also shows my editing skills and what I can do and how much I have learned. I also had a lot of fun when I was filming. It was fun when I was writing the script and I think I did a really good job on the assignment even though there were many complications. And I think that it really shows what I can do on editing and when there are troubling times.
