Math Projects

    A project is a required assignment in this course.

    Michelle Hagman's Fall 2003 project on Order of Operations introduces the idea of projects.

    Questionbook, the nonexam graded assignments, include:

• quizzes
• projects ( algebra precalc calc)
• questions ( algebra, precalc calc).

    First a title is requested by the student and approved by the prof. (2 points)

    A 2-page handout is required. The student prepares the handout, the prof edits and makes suggestions, the student revises the handout and the prof prints copies for the class. (1-2 points for draft, 1 point for conference, 1 point for final copy)

    Here are Michelle's handout pages. 1st 2nd.

    [ Here are 3 different precalc students' handouts -- Ed's: 1a 2a, Jing's 1b 2b; and Thanh's1c 2c. ]

    With the handout as a prop and outline, the student presents the material to the class.(1 point for presentation)

    An additional point(s) may be earned after the presentation for the creation of a test question and answer on the presented material or a web page.(1 point for question/answer, 1 point for web page)

    Michelle also produced other material (no extra credit) and had her son video-tape the presentation. She also produced a jingle, a word puzzle, and the puzzle answers.
