this is the research project for math subject, and just for example and give a hint of how to do it, I attached 3 files just for example, don't have to do them.
Math 20-2 Research Project The intent of the project is for you to research a topic or question of your choice and recognize where mathematics exists in the world around them. You need not do any mathematics in their project. The process of doing the research is more important than finding an answer to your research question. Please connect with Mrs. Toyad regularly about your research project, we can brainstorm ideas of your next steps together. Project Due date: October 25, 2021 · You are allowed to submit your research project earlier! Format of the project · Work individually or in a small group · Possible formats include: · Written: report, slideshow, poem, play, song, pamphlet · Visual: storyboard, poster, slideshow, pamphlet, padlets, game board · Performed (video or live): presentation, TV show, podcast, news report, one minute video, kahoot Presentation of the project (1-2 mins) · Live presentation in google meet (will be scheduled) or Pre-recorded with Screenscastify can be used Sources · At least 5 different sources · Sources can be people, primary sources, statistics data or internet sources · Choosing and evaluating the quality and reliability of sources. Give examples and non-examples. Ask questions such as: · What makes a source reliable? · How credible is the author? · How current is the information? · Is the information accurate? Can it be confirmed by another source? · Is the information relevant to the research question or topic? · Who is the intended audience for this source? · Is the source objective or does it have a particular bias? Research Topics for the project Mathematics is more than just numbers and equations! Try not to do “traditional” mathematics in your project. You may recount a historical event or a person’s contributions related to mathematics, teach us about a technology or game, how math is affecting something you use every day or something you love. Think about what affects or interest you on a daily basis: · Favorite sports (to play or watch), outdoor activities · E.g. olympics, camping · Favorite board games or video games or card games · Best apps, websites, internet trends, phone, computer, GPS, coding · Favorite art, music, dance, drama · Favorite movie, series, documentaries · E.g.
