How do we use mathematics to express solutions to problems in the real world?
 * Theme Essential Question **** : **

How has 8th grade mathematics influenced your outlook on finding solutions to problems in the real world?
 * Essential Questions: **


 * Objectives **
 * The student will use mathematics from the 8th grade curriculum to create or demonstrate a new level of mathematical awareness.

The final project can be as differentiated as: presenting an overview of a math website the student has encountered during the year, demonstrating a solution to a problem that they find relevant, or enriching a unit by presenting the learning from the student’s perspective. Allow students to be creative in order that we may be reflective practitioners, concerned with creating a curriculum that grows in a direction that provides for our children’s’ needs.
