6th and 7th Grade Trimester Math Projects

These are some of the most amazing projects!
I would like to post more, but some are in Prezi format and would not link into this blog.

Enjoy.

Liz created a stop motion movie with a math theme.

Elijah used a pattern theme to show how exponets can be broken down into prime factors, he included a fractal of triangles in his project.

Vivien used a fish theme to show patterns, prime factors and exponents. She included how powers of ten and scientific notation use factors and exponents.

Hunter W. used a variety of methods to show prime factorization, patterns and exponents.

Jack used a real world theme to show how to use powers of ten, prime factorization and exponents to calculate the profits from t-shirt sales.

Kym measured the perimeter and area of several squares and rectangles that she arranged in a pattern, then she attempting prime factorization of the final number, which she thinks is a prime number. 

(We will have to investigate this number further)

Josie showed how all of the different topics this trimester are connected, see the close up below.

Haley used a Thanksgiving theme to show patterns, prime factorization and exponents.

Jerome created a new iteration of a project that he did with a partner this trimester and added on more to include not only prime factorization, but also patterns, exponents and area and perimeter.

Anna D. used some great patterns to show all of the topics covered this trimester.

Charli-Rei also used several projects created this trimester and combined them into one to shwo how all of the topics work together.

Savannah created an abacus to show how prime factorization is a pattern, and included measurements of area and perimeter of her abacus. The abacus also shows how to do prime factorization and exponents.

Katy used a music theme to show how all of the topics work together.

This was one of the most amazing projects. Katy did prime factorization using a whole note and factorized it down to 1/16 notes. She also created patterns and exponents of the notes.

Ethan showed how patterns are a part of all of the topics.

Caroline used a variety of patterns to show how all of the topics are related.

See a close up below.

Lauren used a previous project and connected it to patterns, exponets and area/perimeter.

Close up of Savannah's abacus, notice the prime factors, 2,3,5,7, etc.

Michelle used a pie theme to show how prime factorization, exponents, powers of ten, scientific notation and patterns can be used to calculate profits from pie sales.

Finally, Alec created a Scratch program to using a sales theme to show how all of the topics can be used together.
