Math 30-2 Research Project

The purpose of the research project in Math 30-2 is to gain an appreciation for mathematics in current events. You will research statistical data then analyze and present your findings within the Math 30-2 Project Blog. This project is worth 5% of your class grade.

Choose only 1 of the projects listed in the project link.  If you have another idea, pass it by me before you begin.The marking rubric is shown at the end of the project link document.

To achieve a great mark:

• include raw data
• do a regression analysis
• include a graph plotting your data and drawing your best fit regression curve
• present pros and cons with support
• make some conclusions
• include or references
• present in a neat and orderly fashion (pictures are always a nice addition)

Your project is worth 4% of your grade and is due to be posted by Tuesday December 1. If peers make a comment or ask a question, maintain your own post by answering.

The remaining 1% of the grade is your responses to your peers posts.  At least four thoughtful and reflective comments are required for the additional 1%.  Responses to peer posts are required by the last day of class: Tuesday December 8.
