Dear Parent,

Your son or daughter will be starting an extended project in their math class that will be worked on over the next 5 weeks.  I understand that such projects are rare in a math class, so I would like to introduce you to some of the main ideas and demands of this project in advance.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact me by any of the means given below.

            The students will be starting on a Geometry in Architecture unit in which they will be researching how architecture is impacted my geometry.  The project will not require any outside time unless the student feels they did not get enough research time during class.  Students will be working in small groups, and there will be ample class time to complete any group work that is required.  Small homework assignments relating to the project will be assigned throughout the project, but will not be in addition to any other homework from my class.  Students are required to purchase a folder to keep copies of all work done on the project that will be collected at the end of the project.  The school will provide all other materials.

            The project will count for 60% of their 6-weeks grade, since the majority of class time will be spent on the project. I look forward to working on this project with you child, and hope they will enjoy it too. 

                                                            Sincerely,

                                                                        Meaghan, Adil, and Jeremy

I have read and understand the requirements of my child's Math Project.
