We Are Family!
Mathematics is a very important life skill. However, students do not always do as well as they could because they do not understand why math is relevant to their everyday lives. In this project we will see how math is used in the real world. We will do a variety of activities that focus on home economics. Students will be given the opportunity to practice computational and problem-solving skills as they learn how incomes and expenses affect the finances and, ultimately, the lifestyles of different sizes of families.
This will primarily be an individually graded project; however, there will be an ungraded group component. Students will write a family story, create a family portrait, and design an individual Keynote presentation, all of which will be part their trimester project grade. They will also receive an individual participation grade, as this project relies heavily on student interaction and discussion. The group component will be in the form of group discussion/work during class time.
