Lots of other concepts - email me if you have a concept not listed above
Explain how 1 of the concepts is used in a real-life job / career. On your google doc you will write:
- The Saint Rita School Heading
- Math skill / concept
- The Job Title / Career Name
- Perhaps a picture to make it interesting
- 5+ bullet points that will cover the following
o Explain the math skill / concept; you can (and should) explain it in general terms as best you can if it is something we have not learned – no problem with that (
- What does the person do? Explain so we can understand.
- Explain how the skill is used / applied in that job – as specific as you can. Remember: we will not understand Trigonometry at a detailed level or how it is used – just the best summary you can give it simple terms
Your goals:
- Submit your HW on time – a google doc on Friday, April 3 by 3 pm
- Prove your understanding of the math skill / concept
- Prove that math is used in ALL of life (almost, if not all)
- Make your presentation interesting and informative and COOL – as best you can!
- Make your large presentation card “hallway worthy” – even though we are not here! (
- Pique the interest of your classmates by selecting jobs/careers that perhaps we never knew involved math (a “not” obvious connection for most), OR, selecting really cool jobs/careers to prove how important math is in EVERYTHING!
- Once and for all, put to rest the TEDIOUS student questions,
“Why do I need to know this?
When will I ever use this?”
Please note: NO ONE may use the job of “CASHIER” – it is obvious how and why this job uses math - we all understand. Pick different, NOT obvious, jobs and careers that use Math. Talk to your parents. Have fun with this. Do lots of research.
