Math Project Sheet (copy and past in Word to print)

First Nine Weeks Project
Performance Level Descriptor: Convert from one unit to another, perform basic operations, and solve real-world problems using standard measurements within the same system.

The purpose of this project is for you to accomplish a long-term goal. The goal is to meet the deadline, while completing the work as neatly as possible. Many professions require on-going projects and request certain aspects to be done at certain times.

Choose a profession that you are interested in pursuing. (You will use this profession for future projects, so choose wisely.) Once you have chosen that profession, research the profession and answer the following questions:
1. What do they do?
2. How often do they get paid?
3. Calculate Hourly, Weekly, Monthly, and Annual pay.
4. Is there a dress code?
5. What is expected of them?
6. How much money do they make (both net and gross income)?
7. What requirements do you need to be hired?

On a piece of poster board, make a collage to help illustrate the profession you have chosen. There should be at least 10 pictures or drawings. This section is worth 15 points.

The answers to the questions above should be typed and placed on the back of the poster board. This section is worth 30 points.

Underneath each picture, explain in one sentence how it illustrates the profession. These sentences need to be well written and grammatically correct. When doing projects in the professional world, this will be expected. This section is worth 15 points.

The poster board should be neat and legible. Employers will need to be able to judge your work without too much effort. They have many employees to oversee, so make sure that your work is neat and creative. This section is worth 10 points.

The project is due on Friday, October 9, 2009. Turning it in on October 9 is worth 10 points.

You will present your project to the class. When making this presentation, make sure that you discuss the following topics:
1. What profession did you choose?
2. Why did you choose this profession?
3. Describe the pictures you chose.
4. Why did you choose those pictures?
Make sure that you talk loud enough so that the people in the back can hear you. You will have 2-5 minutes. This section will be worth 20 points.
