Description
If you need extra credit projects to help your math students boost their grades, these extracurricular activities can fit the bill! In each of these three projects, students look at the world of math in a way that is not routinely included in our curriculum. Hopefully they learn a little something extra that increases their interest in math.
Included are three projects:
1) mathematician/engineer biography study
2) career study (with math connections)
3) math-based fiction book report
Materials in this product:
★ summary sheet which identifies the projects for the students
★ Mathematician/engineer project
• student instructions for the mathematician/engineer project
• lists of 30 suggested mathematicians and 30 engineer/scientists
• two rubrics - one pre-filled with 50 points, one with blank spaces for your own point distribution
★ Career project
• student instructions for the career project
• two rubrics - one pre-filled with 50 points, one with blank spaces for your own point distribution
★ Math-themed book report project
• student instructions for the book report project
• five-page book report form (optional)
• 2+ page list of suggested books, with reading/grade level and AR points, when available
• two rubrics - one pre-filled with 30 points, one with blank spaces for your own point distribution

Great for 5ht grade!
Met expectations
Great value
Students really enjoyed this resource. It was easy to follow, and it gave clear directions for what was expected. Easy to use for review/extra credit. Fun assignments like this keep the students engaged and wanting to complete the work.
My students loved using this resource because it gave them the opportunity to earn extra credit which I rarely do in my class. It did not take me much time to prepare, so it was great to use in a hurry.
Great resource! Thanks for sharing!
Great extra credit ideas for math!
I used this resource to give my students the option of extra credit! They loved completing this because we typically do not have the time to do research and real world applications like this project allowed for. Definitely will used for years to come!
This was a great resource that I used to help boost students grades. I used primarily for extra credit, but this can easily be a project for the entire class.
I did like that students had a few option on what they wanted to research.
Great resource
Great resource!
