Extra Credit Math Projects

If you need extra credit projects to help your math students boost their grades, these extracurricular activities can fit the bill! In each of these three projects, students look at the world of math in a way that is not routinely included in our curriculum. Hopefully they learn a little something extra that increases their interest in math.

Included are three projects:
1) mathematician/engineer biography study
2) career study (with math connections)
3) math-based fiction book report
