6th Grade End-of-Unit Project

The end of Unit Project for Prime Time was assigned on Tuesday, October 27, and is due on Friday, October 30. The students each chose a number between 10 and 100 that they will describe using the mathematical terms and concepts in this unit. A rubric totaling up to 50 points was given to each student to use in gauging their progress as well as grading the completed projects. The projects can take the form of a poster, booklet, song, Power-Point presentation or other approved media. Students worked on this during class on Tuesday and Wednesday, and will also have class time on Thursday to complete their work. Students are expected to have all work in class every day.

7th Grade End-of-Unit Project

The seventh grade end-of-unit project was assigned on Tuesday. It involves a multi-part problem called "BATHTUB". Each student has a copy of the problem, and we have worked on it in class Tuesday and Wednesday. Based upon the progress that I have observed, students will need until Monday to complete the project, which was originally due this Friday. We have solved several aspects of the problem as a group, and clues and guidance have been given on the other parts. Presentations can include, but are not limited to posters, booklets, and Power-Point presentations. This project is suggested by the Georgia Department of Education for 7th Grade Mathematics.
