A high school math credit should also include one or more of the following:
- A project that highlights the math of a real world application (i.e. music, art, dance, architecture, aviation, engines, business plan, sports, career interest, etc.)
- A learning experience created by you that helps others learn math skills.
- A personal reflection about a math learning experience at EHRC or other place where you tutored, assisted in a class, or similar situation.
- A solution to a unique problem applying the skills from a given math strand.
Ideas for Completion Indicators:
- Portfolio of work
- Evaluations by teacher/parent/mentor
- Self-evaluations
- Discussions, reflective journal
- Technology projects
- Artwork, constructionist projects
- Tests-objective, essay
