Dear
Parent/Guardian: Next
week our class will begin a unit on the mathematics of creating their
own rock
band. Students will be asked to use their mathematical knowledge to
analyze
both the musical and business concepts involved in the project. The
students
will be taught all of the non-mathematical topics that will be
necessary to
succeed in this project. Students
will be developing a portfolio and making one final presentation and
may choose
to use poster boards or other visual aids. Materials used for
presentations
will need to be purchased by the students. The school will provide all
materials needed to create the material for their portfolio. Students
will be
graded both on their individual work and work within the group. They
will be
graded for the ability to stay within the given guidelines as well as
for the
completeness of the assignments. If you
have any questions, please contact me by phone or email. Please ask
your son or
daughter about what they are learning. It will give them an opportunity
to
practice for their presentation and you may learn some interesting
things about
how mathematics can be related to music. Please
detach, sign, and return the bottom of this letter so I know you have
read it.
Thanks, Paul

detach this portion and have your child return it to his/her Math
teacher. I have read the
letter about my child’s Math Unit Project and received a copy of the
Project
grading rubric. ______________________________
