  1. Luke Dowell – Presenter luke.dowell@sccc.edu SCCC/ATS Math and Science Teacher’s Workshop Wednesday, September 21, 2011 More Research Projects for Math and Engineering

  2. Challenge students with extended projects in math and engineering. Science Fairs Looks good on College Applications Develop problem solving and inquisitive habits of mind Overview

  3. Discover/explore divisibility rules • Invent methods to do mental math • Investigate other numbering systems (other than base 10) • Investigate three dimensional space and the fourth dimension • Investigate polar coordinates • Determine how a slide rule works, invent a different tool for making calculations Possible Ideas in Math

  4. How many pairs of rabbits will be produced in a year, beginning with a single pair, if in every month each pair bears a new pair which becomes productive from the second month on? Explorations
