Projects in Mathematics will help students to recognize that
Mathematics is a cultural pursuit; it is a language that pervades every
culture. Projects will help students gain the following skills:
1. Read and think
critically
2. Detect flaws in
arguments
3. Construct viable
arguments
4. Identify risks
5. Make logical
decisions
6. Test anecdotal
evidence for reliability
7. Proficiency in oral
and written communication
Therefore, an SBA Project will help students to answer the
question, “When am I ever going to use Mathematics?”
In recent years, there has been a growing recognition that
students should learn Mathematics in such a way that they can see its relevance
in the real world. The Mathematics SBA
Project has now become an essential part of the CSEC Syllabus and constitutes
20% of the final CSEC Examination.
The SBA Projects require the students to:
1.
Select a problem for research from the real world.
2.
Select the relevant Mathematics topic
from any part of the syllabus in order to research and investigate the chosen
problem.
3.
Write a clearly explained, logical and sequenced project that
satisfies certain guidelines stipulated by the Caribbean Examinations Council
(CXC).
