Name of Assignment: Plan a trip project
Subject: Consumer Math Facilitator/Teacher: Ms.Marsh Description of Work/Assignment: For this assignment we were grouped into pairs , my partner was Angel Loud. We were given the task to make a budget for our trip . We must leave from Maui and return to Maui , during our spring break . The rules are we cannot get "free" accommodations, meals etc. Also we can't "stay with grandma in oregon" or "borrow parents car" but if a activity on our trip is free admission that is acceptable. Me and Angel decided on going to Palm Springs . We booked through expedia and it includes hotel and roundtrip flight . The flight will cost $1,265 per person for two people . We will be staying at Margaritaville Resort in palm springs for 3 nights , there will be a shuttle to take us to the resort and back to the airport including when we leave . The resort has free transportation using bikes but many things are walking distance . There are plenty of restaurants but the resort offers complimentary breakfast , but for lunch and dinner will estimate around $100 per person each day. Our activities throughout the days are basically free like going to the pool, bikes , yoga and fitness room. The only activity that would be paid for is the spa that cost $200 per person . Total cost per person for our trip is $1,960, amount we should save per month is $163. We made a slideshow with all this information but during our presentation we would be judged on how fun the trip is? Is the trip realistic, as you've planned it? is it good value ? . Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? The 21st century skill I feel for this assignment is Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy because using these skills I got the opportunity to understand how to create a detailed trip including transportation , food, activities and unexpected expenses on a budget . Also during our budgeting we got to understand how taxes work in today's economy . What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I am most proud of how me and my partner worked together equally , we did a even amount of research on our project . We used our personal skills to get the work done . I'm also proud of how we presented to the class , it showed how the class is very engaged into our trip. How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? How I improved on financial , Economic , and business literacy is using financial tools like google sheets . I did not know using those sort of sites or apps could help track , organize, and manage your spending . What was most difficult about completing this task? The most difficult about completing this task was when I was absent on a work day for this assignment , but since my partner is my best Friend she helped me understand our plan and go over it with me to get a full understanding of the project . |
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different?
There is nothing I would improve on this work or do differently , I am very proud of the outcome with our project . How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? This project relates to when I learned how to make a creating a check register assignment in junior year using google sheets . I learned in the past on transactions , deposits , withdrawls . Now Im glad im in consumer math this year to have more of a understanding on budgeting , compound interest , simple interest etc. How can you apply this to future learning? How I can apply our project to future learning is now when I plan a trip or maybe using this trip that we already plan . We have the experience of researching for good prices on a budget. Also how to save money while have a good trip ! |
