So recently in maths, an idea (not much of an idea, because we had no
say in it) was introduced. We were going to start maths projects.
Last
week (school week: week 4) we started to research different topics from
a list our teacher gave us and put our first 3 preferences on the
sheet. This week we were given our groups, explained what we needed to
do, and then got stuck into it.
Madeline and Kaleb are
the two other people in our group and we are researching the Pythagoras
Theorem. At the end of the next 4 Weeks we will be presenting an 8
minute presentation on our topic and the week after a poster (made for
high school kids) will be given to our teacher, possibly for display at
the end of year. And every week there needs to be a blog update on our
progress. Each part is worth ten marks (group marks for the presentation
and poster then individual marks for the updates)
But then there is the 'hamartia' - everything has to been done on computers.
This is my first ever maths project, but already it is quite fun.
I'll update you all on our progress next week.
Stay cool!
