SUMMATIVE PROJECT

The summative project that the students complete in this course takes 5 to 10 class periods depending on the time available during a semester. The project is a Math Magazine that the students must assemble. The project allows them to explore extensions of material taught in the class as well as additional material that explores Mathematics in a variety of contexts. A sample outline is available by clicking on the following link.

Math Project



Another rich assessment item will be added in 2006/2007 to emphasize math literacy. It will incorporate ideas from the hit TV show Numb3rs. Texas Instruments has provided a number of worksheets relating specific episodes to math in real life.
