End Of Year Mathematician Project - Algebra 2/Calculus/PreCalculus
This is a great project for the end of the year! Students are required to research a famous mathematician (they can choose one not listed as well) and create a research paper using the guidelines within the project. There is also an option to have your kids do a presentation (which I love!) with the guidelines provided as well. Rubrics are given for both the paper and presentation! Enjoy!

Famous Mathematician Bingo and Research Project
I realized that my students knew very little about the mathematicians behind the math they were learning and I decided to give them an opportunity to gain some background knowledge. I went to Wikipedia to create brief bios for 24 influential mathematicians and then turned that information into a game of bingo. After hearing a little about each mathematician during bingo, students will choose 1 mathematician to research further and create a resume for.Included:-Bingo board for students to fill in

When will the Earth stop spinning?
Every bit of knowledge can be very powerful in solving even highly complicated looking problems. In this study, I present a scientific (semi-empirical) path which leads the reader to the answer to the question: "When will the Earth stop spinning?". Practically, using the high school Physics and Math knowledge, that how a scientist would predict the fate of the Earth's spin is shown. I intend to make high school students, who have taken AP Physics classes, realize how powerful the knowledge they
SMOOTH GOLDEN EGGS
GOLDEN RATIO in EGG SHAPESHere, I use Golden Ratio to plot different egg shapes with smooth surfaces, with the help of a mathematical function I propose in this paper. It is an extremely fun activity you can conduct with your math students who have some knowledge on functions, limits, and derivatives. As mentioned above, in this paper, I intend to demonstrate how to plot smooth “Golden Eggs” using mathematical functions. In order to do that, I first review a proposed shape for a Golden Egg, whi

Writing Project: Build-A-Box (Calculus)
This assignment is an example of writing in calculus. Students work in groups to solve the problem presented by the client and then write a collaborative report explaining the solution.
This assignment can be done individually but, when used in a group setting, students learn not only how to express their ideas but the concept of working in a team. I generally allow the students to divide the work among themselves without input.
General time-frame is two weeks for completion of the assignme
