Math Showcase
Even in math class, art skills and creativity need to be recognized. Here are some examples of creative and real-world application math projects.
Transformation Super Hero Project
Facilitated by Mr. Hayden
Geometry
Students used what they learned in the Rigid Transformations Unit to demonstrate their knowledge of using Translations, Rotations and Reflection to move their Superhero around obstacles on graph paper in order to save the day.
Triangle Artwork Project
Facilitated by Mr. Hayden
Students used their knowledge, from the Congruent Triangles Unit, to create a piece of artwork that incorporates a variety of different triangles and Triangle Congruence Theorems.
House Flipping Project
Facilitated by Mr. Hayden
Students used their knowledge from the Right Triangle Trig. and Solid Geometry Units to calculate all of the expenses involved in flipping a house. This included material and labor for hardwood floors, painting the walls and ceilings, tiling the bathrooms, carpeting the bedrooms and a concrete patio. Students then calculated for a 20% profit, knowing that their selling price would be 5% less than their asking price.
Algebra 1A
Bivariate Data
Facilitated by Mr. T. Meyer, Ms. Beyer & Mrs. Scheer
For this project, students in Ms. Beyer’s Algebra 1A class gathered two-variable data and constructed a graph to represent their data. Students then used their graph to develop an equation that modeled the data. Lastly, students identified what the slope and y-intercept mean in context and reflected on their findings.

Accelerated Trigonometry & Trigonometry
Right Triangle Trigonometry
Children’s Book Project
Facilitated by Mrs. Spencer
Students were to create a children’s story that included finding the missing parts of a right triangle. They included their work on the last page of the book. HAPPY READING!

Polar Graphing Project
Facilitated by Mrs. Spencer
Students in Trigonometry and Accelerated Trigonometry used their knowledge of Polar graphing along with Algebraic graphs to make beautiful designs using Desmos.

Trigonometry Sinusoidal Project
Facilitated by Mrs. Spencer
Students applied their knowledge of sinusoidal(periodic) functions to analyze the world around them. Students researched and chose a phenomenon that was cyclic/periodic and created a poster relating their real-world data to the sinusoidal graphing concept.
