- Title: Math in the News
- Start Date: February 1
- End Date: Open throughout duration of the project.
- Summary: Students review headlines for a week, looking for math
in the news. When they find a headline that has some correlation to math, they are to
analyze it:
Could it be an actual amount, or is it an estimate?
What "kind of math" is it?-For example: ratio, percent, area,
volume, length, weight, rank, cardinal number-indicating quantity, ordinal number-position
in a series.
They would then send something like this to KIDPROJ:
Headline: "Party peace No. 1 in GOP chief's eye"
Date: August 1, 1997
Newspaper: Austin American Statesman
Estimate or actual: actual
Purpose: rank
Restate it without numbers: Party peace main focus of GOP chief.
