Algebra 1 Spiral Project: Materials Needed: Centimeter ruler Pencil Poster board (22” by 28 “) Colored pencils or markers Due Date: Note: this project is a test grade! Late projects will be accepted, but 10 points will be deducted every day it is late. For example: If you turn it in on Thursday the 19th, your highest grade is a 90 as it is 1 day late.
