Math Projects

Project 1: Temperature Project

The coldest place where people live is Oymyakon in Siberia. In 1933, the temperature
fell to -67⁰C.
It was so cold that people’s eyelashes froze.
a)​ Investigate the summer and winter temperatures in different places. Order
the temperatures you find starting with the coldest.
b)​ Make a poster to show your findings.
c)​ Find examples of temperatures in magazines or on the internet and add them
to your poster. You can include maps, pictures and graphs.

Find an example bar graph below. It compares the temperatures between Bristol
(which is usually cold) and Dubai (which is usually extremely hot).
Project 2: Square Statements Project

Complete this project on an A3 piece of manilla card. Use colours and create a
beautiful poster answering the questions. Use a pencil or pen for writing. You can
draw lines as well. You must use a ruler. Your answers must be correct and checked.
Write your name on your card.
Project 3: 3D Shapes Project

Create 3D shapes out of nets. They should be pinned or attached to a board. They
should be neatly created and they should not be falling apart. They must be labelled
on the board. Make sure to name your project.

Here are some examples:


English Projects

Project 1: Fantasy Stories

Design a poster to advertise your fantasy story. Include the title and add a line or
two to entice the reader. Address the reader directly and think about what might
make them want to read your story.

For example:
Project 2: Endangered Animals

Make a poster about endangered animals. Research and find out which animals are
endangered in Africa and find out why. Create a poster that informs people and
also promotes how to help save these animals.

Here are some examples below:


Project 3: Fables
Project 4: diary

Write a diary describing the adventures of an explorer - someone real or imaginary.


The diary should record events from the point of view of the explorer. Describe
where you are, as you are the explorer. Describe what you do and what you find.
Then write what you do with it.
For example:

Project 5: Folk Tales

Research a folk tale from another country. Summarise the tale into three main
parts - a beginning, middle and end. Adapt the tale into a playscript. You can choose
to adapt the whole tale or one part of it. Write or type it out.
Example of a playscript:
Project 6: Nonsense Poems

On your own, research different nonsense poems and make a collection of your
favourite ones. Choose one of these poems to learn and present to the class.
Practice using your voice, face and body to show expression.

Project 7: South Africa

Trace, print and colour or draw a map of Africa and colour in South Africa to show
its location. Research some of South Africa’s longest rivers and highest mountains
and add them onto the map. Mark in South Africa’s main cities. Research South
Africa’s provinces and capital city, its habitats and landscapes, its animals and
people, and its cities and rivers.

E.g.
Project 8: Cooking Show

Give a video demonstration or tutorial on how to cook or make something. You can
use a camera or your phone. Edit your video and you can give it to your teacher to
show to the class. Be clear about each step of the process so your audience
understands what to do when they make it themselves. Be enthusiastic and
entertaining so your audience does not get bored. If you do not want to make a video
you can create your recipe on an A4 piece of paper. Include a picture. For example:
Project 9: Day and Night Poster

Prepare a poster board about day and night. Research pictures, images, poems and
writing about daytime and night-time. Use a large piece of manilla board (do not use
paper) and make a collage of these images and writing with daytime on one half and
night-time on the other side. Be creative! Examples:

Effective strategies for conveying a cooking tutorial via video include clear and concise instruction, step-by-step visual demonstrations, and engaging narration. The video should be well-structured, with the use of close-up shots to highlight important techniques or ingredients. Maintain engagement by infusing enthusiasm, varying the pace with music or commentary, and addressing common pitfalls or tips. Interactive elements, like visual aids or answering anticipated viewer questions, can also enhance understanding and maintain audience interest.

Fantasy stories often leverage diverse environments to enhance narratives by establishing unique settings that challenge characters and foster growth. These settings can influence the plot and character development by imposing specific challenges or advantages that characters must navigate, thereby shaping their decisions and evolution throughout the story. For example, a fantasy story set in a desert might emphasize themes of scarcity and survival, while a story set in an enchanted forest might explore themes of mystery and discovery.

A comprehensive understanding of day and night should include key scientific concepts such as Earth's rotation on its axis, the orbit around the sun, and how these contribute to the cycle of daylight and darkness. It should also cover the impact of axial tilt on varying daylight hours globally and seasonal changes. Including cultural or natural phenomena associated with day and night, such as circadian rhythms or the night sky's appearance, can also enrich the educational value of the poster.

To ensure authenticity and engaging storytelling in a diary from an explorer's perspective, one should consider incorporating vivid and sensory-rich descriptions of the environment, the chronological sequence of events, and the emotional responses of the explorer to their discoveries and challenges. Additionally, the diary should include reflections on the cultural and environmental factors encountered, creating a personal connection between the explorer and the reader. This immersive approach helps readers visualize the journey and empathize with the explorer's experiences.

Creating 3D shapes from nets enhances understanding of geometric principles by providing hands-on experience with the properties and dimensions of shapes. This activity helps students grasp the concept of surface area, volume, and the relationships between different geometric parts. By physically assembling these shapes, students can visualize how two-dimensional nets transform into three-dimensional figures, reinforcing spatial reasoning and geometric comprehension.

Nonsense poems use linguistic creativity through playful language, rhythmic patterns, and imaginative scenarios to convey meaning or evoke emotions. They often rely on phonetic appeal, innovative wordplay, and unexpected juxtapositions to engage the reader's senses and emotions, creating an experience that transcends logical understanding. This use of sound, rhythm, and whimsical imagery can induce feelings of amusement or curiosity, demonstrating how meaning and emotion can be conveyed beyond conventional syntax and semantics.

Creating a project on African endangered animals provides educational benefits by fostering research skills, raising awareness about biodiversity and conservation issues, and encouraging critical thinking about the causes and solutions for species endangerment. It also offers insight into ecological interdependence and the impact of human activities on wildlife, promoting conservation efforts and encouraging students to consider sustainable practices.
