As a summary you are asked to construct a powerpoint presentation answering the question “Why is it important to learn math?” The presentation is to be made to address parents of students and clearly show why it is important for their children to learn and understand mathematics. This is a product that you should be able to use at the beginning of a school year during a meet & greet time with parents. As such, it should be no more than five minutes long and use language, images and symbols that parents would be comfortable with.

For assessment I will assess each presentation and a non-math member of the Mi’kmaq Maliseet Institute will also do an assessment. You will have to pass both assessments to complete the course.

Ideally you should be keeping notes and making comments to answer the above question while completing the other projects from the term.


Here is an example of an approach you may take for this project:
