the term ends
What’s new in Cat 9…
Brief summary of what has been done in the area of the project and the relationship of different
works/articles with your own project
New to Cat 9?a Maths project is…
NOT a compilation of cut and paste facts of certain Maths topics/concepts/ideas
NOT a collection of Maths formulae/quizzes
NOT a slide show about Mathematican(s) and his(their) achievements
New to Cat 9?A Maths project is…
a research on a puzzle/model/game/concepts/real-life problems using various mathematical concepts (like algebra, number theory, probability, geometry, graph theory and etc) to explain the phenomenon or/and discover new and exciting principles or theorems.
Good versus Not-so-GoodMaths ProjectsNot-so-Good(but can be improved and
modified)
GoodThe wonders of Fibonacci and Golden Ratio
Explore the different ways of doing paper folding/Origami through the use of GEOMETRY and the possibilities of creating unique designs
Find the mathematical principles behind Sudoku Cube
