Rubric for Extra Credit Project in Math
Due May 22, 2008
Past due. No
longer applicable.
Value of this project is up to 20 points
added to the last test to help the test average. Students will select
one of following and will have to write this explanation in
their own words. Any projects that have been copied out right from a
source will not get any points. The explanation will be as if you are
explaining to younger student or someone who does not know math-maybe your
grandparents. Your explanations must follow correct grammar, punctuation,
and spelling. If you are typing, use font size of 12 in black with not
script font.
1.
Explain the volume and the
surface area in a PRISM and a PYRAMID that have the same base measured in
centimeters.
You must define and include the following
words in your very detailed explanation: face, lateral face, edge,
base, height, and cubic. Include the formulas that are needed to
find the volume of each shape. Create each of these shapes. It would
be easiest if they are 3 dimensional instead of just using drawings but
not required.
2.
Draw and describe all of
the different types of TRIANGLES using centimeters.
You must define and include the following
words in your very detailed explanation: right, acute, obtuse,
equilateral, isosceles, scalene, and Pythagorean Theorem. You may use
diagrams with your written descriptions.
3.
Describe the volume and
the surface area in a CYLINDER and a CONE that have the same radius in
centimeters.
You must define and include the following
words in your very detailed explanation: face, lateral face, edge,
base, radius, height, pi, and cubic. Include the formulas that are
needed to find the volume of each shape. Create each of these shapes.
It would be easiest if they are 3 dimensional instead of just using
drawings but not required.
If you make 3 dimensional figures will get
5 points extra and if you turn it in early you could earn an additional 5
points extra.
