Introduction:
How many times have you sat in a math class and asked yourself, “Why do I have to learn this? Will I ever use this with the job I’m going to have!” But math is important. You will use some kind of math for the rest of your life in just about everything you do. Don’t believe me? Let’s do some research and you’re going to be surprised.
Tasks:
Over the next few days you will be searching the Internet to discover your career interests and their link to mathematics. First, you will take a test to help you decide on a possible career that will work best for your interest level at this point in your life. After the test you will start your research to determine how math connects to your chosen career by using the links provided and outside interviews. Finally, you will design a Google Slides presentation based on your research.
Resources
Process:
Now you can begin putting your final project together! By using the information you learned from your research and interview, create a slide show with at least 5 slides and no more than 10 using Microsoft Power Point. Remember to give credit to your resources when needed. You may use a separate slide for this, but this does not count as one of your required 5.

Have a super day!
The Interactive Notebook is an incredible organization and learning tool. We will be using these for this course. Students need to have a spiral notebook to use in class, this will be their interactive notebook (INB).
We have been working on formatting the INB and cover design over the last few days. Our first INB check will be on Friday (9.12.14)
The INB is worth 20% of the students overall grade!
I am excited for the new year. I just wanted to remind students of a few things I expect:
Thanks you!
