Maths projects. Week 5 update

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!
