I know you are thinking math and project do not go well together, but do not freak out! I have done this project with other students before and they really seemed to enjoy it and felt that it helped them during the course.
This Project is titled Math and Nature. Nature showcases a wide array of mathematical principles. From the Fibonacci series being present in shells, pine cones and sunflowers to the mathematical precision of a bee's honeycomb, there are plenty of opportunities to apply mathematical theories to the world around you. Choose a topic in nature that demonstrates a theme of precaculus like fractals, the golden mean or 3D geometry. Attempt to draw parallels between that topic and the mathematical theory behind it.
In class, I will give you a handout that list all the rules you must follow and give you some ideas of what you could do. I would like you all to use this blog to let me know what you decide to do for your project and I will reply letting you know if it is acceptable or not. I would also like you to use this blog to ask any questions that you may have about the project. You can always ask me questions in class but use this for when you are at home working and get stuck. I wish you all the best of luck in the project and hope that you enjoy it!
