Your report backmore
The Mathematics Project does not have to be on Module S3. It is only included here for compatability with EdExcel's specification.

You should:
(a) work on a project of a mathematical nature over an extended period of time without continual direction and supervision by a teacher;
(b) understand the need to tackle a large piece of work in manageable stages, and work methodically at a task or series of tasks in the course of completing an overall project;
(c) understand the need for a flexible approach to an unfamiliar task, and experiment with different ways of tackling the task if necessary;
(d) demonstrate an understanding of the mathematical ideas that are involved in a project;
(e) communicate successfully, both verbally and in writing, what is involved in the work, including such aspects as
· the planning an implementation of the work,
· new ideas or changes of direction that arose in the course of the work,
· conclusions reached as a result of the work.


Summary

  • the project is worth 16 2/3% of the marks
  • your report should be of about 4000 words
  • it can be on any aspect of your course - but check it with your teacher
