565 Midterm Project Timeline

You are being asked to put together a learning station for our project day, Tuesday, April 1^st, 2003 (No fooling!) Your fellow classmates will try out your station without your being there (you'll be trying other things out). They'll be able to spend about 20 minutes on your project. The station should teach your classmates (not elementary students) some math. It should not be a drill. It must allow them to approach an activity creatively and think mathematically.

1. Midterm Project Idea
Your project ideas are due next Thursday, March 13^th over e-mail.
You should work in groups of three or four.
Each group submits one e-mail including:

Who is in the group?
What is the idea? (Give me enough specific info so I can give you feedback.) It should be based partially on the math in the handouts from last Thursday.
What math will your students do?
What is original about your approach?

2. Midterm Project Outline
Your project outline is due by e-mail after spring break on Tuesday, March 25^th, 2003.
Each group submits one e-mail including:

Any changes in your idea since the Idea submission.
A draft of your instructions.
How is it different from a drill? Can you come up with a drill that would teach something similar?

3. Midterm Project Due
I have arranged for us to spend two days on projects. So, prepare to set up your project on April 1^st, unless you get specific permission from me to present your project on April 8th. .

Please send comments/additions to Eric Hsu.
