  1. When am I ever going to have to use this? A exploration into the math that is used for different careers Mrs. Maselli

  2. Table of Contents • Introduction to the Project • Description of the Project • Sequence of Activities • Timelines and Deadlines • Rubric

  3. Introduction • We use math everyday in the real • world…but how? What careers that I am interested in use the kind of math I am learning now? • How is this geometry class going to be useful to me later in life?

  4. Career Ideas • But how about these? Disney Imagineer Graphic Artist Food Scientist Movie Director Video Game Designer Sports Agent You might have already thought about these: Physician Scientist Veterinarian Dentist Engineer Computer Technician Architect

  5. Project Description 1. Think about any type of career that interests you. • Investigate at least one type of math you will need for that career. 3. Research websites that help teach a concept of math that is needed for that career. • Pick up a Geometer’s Sketchpad assignment related to the math you found. • Prepare a PowerPoint presentation to share with the class that describes your findings. • Present your Sketchpad assignment to the class.

  6. How to prepare your PowerPoint • You may prepare your PowerPoint in the school lab or at home. • Email it as an attachment to cmaselli@beniciaunified.org • I will review your presentation, make suggestions and send it back to you to make revisions if necessary. • Email your final work to me, or save it on a flash drive and bring it to class.

  7. What to include in your PowerPoint • The career you have chosen • Why you are interested in this career • What type of mathematical concepts you have found related to this career • How this math is used in that specific career • Make a link for any websites you have found regarding this career • Make a link for any math websites you have found to help explore further at least one of the mathematical concepts needed for the career

  8. Other things you can do …. • Make a movie instead of a PowerPoint… • Interview someone that works in a career that interests you…get some examples of how they use math. Put it on video or give a demo.. Make sure you still give us some math sites to help us learn….

  9. Be Creative!!! • Add pictures, clip art and/or graphics. • Use slide transitions. • Use sound. • Add effects. • Do at least one of these on each slide. • Have fun with it. • It doesn’t have to be long, but it should be interesting!

  10. Timeline Week One • Monday and Tuesday: Choose a career and find a math topic related to it. Use the poster and/or the internet for research. • Wednesday: Pick up your Sketchpad assignment for your math topic • Thursday: Work on sketchpad • Friday: Have Sketchpad assignment checked for correctness. Make any necessary revisions. Begin working on PowerPoint.

  11. Week 2 • Monday : Show PowerPoint to me in lab for review and corrections, or email it to me. • Tuesday: Work on revisions • Wednesday: Begin presentations. I will take volunteers first. • Thursday-Friday: Presentations
