MY MATHEMATICAL LIFE PROJECT

Intention: To observe and record all of the maths that I use, observe or think about in my daily life.

Where to begin:

1. Work out how you’re going to record, for example, use a pocket-sized notebook.
2. Start to notice and record the maths that you use, observe or think about.
3. Talk to your family, friends and teachers throughout.

Success Criteria: S = You have been successful in completing this stage of the project. EE = You have exceeded the expectations.

Stage One – COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

	Frequency – How often shall I record?	Presentation – How shall I record?	Conceptual Focus – What shall I record?
S	Record at least 5 times per day, over a week.   Record observations from home and school   Include date and time for each recording.	Neat and legible, so that others can read it and understand it.   Choose at least 3 different ways of recording, e.g. drawing, explanation, equation, graph, tally chart, etc.	Include at least 3 different mathematical concepts or as many as possible, e.g. shape, measurement, money, estimation, time, etc.
EE	Record at least 10 times per day, over a week.   Record observations from home,  school and anywhere else (e.g. after school sporting activities, shopping, holidays, etc)   Include date and time for each recording.	Neat and legible, so that others can read it and understand it.   Choose a variety of different ways (3+) to record, e.g. drawing, explanation, equation, graph, tally chart, etc.   Keep track of things that you do multiple times in a day, picking up on patterns.	Include 5 or more different mathematical concepts or as many as possible, e.g. shape, measurement, money, estimation, time, etc.
