Math Projects
The packs that included instructions about the math
projects were given to the prep students. These projects
were counted as their English Yearly Project and the first
performance grade for mathematics. The rubric also was
given in the packs besides the abstracts, files, posters
and presentations, and the students made their projects
according to this rubric. Students prepared their math
projects and the projects were exhibited in multipurpose
hall. There is an atmosphere that resembles to Science
Fair that we can now call Math Fair.
The prominent projects were made by Göktuğ
Kahyaoğlu, Ayşegül Bilgedursun, İlke Perçem Akova,
Berrin Yıldırım, Göktuğ Kömeç, Samed Şanap, Ecehan
Uzun and Emir Özkara. Some of the projects were The
Billiard, Sudoku, Monopoly, Maypop, Pi Posters an Lives
of Some Mathematicians.
The benefits of these projects: The students approached
the beginning of IB by these projects. They learnt writing
articles, making verbal presentations, IB exploration and
also they know much about academic honesty. Besides,
they revised the topics they have learnt so far.
