Year 9 Maths Projects

Our Year 9s finished up Term 3 with some great final results in their Maths Projects – Life is like a box of chocolates.  It was so pleasing to see our students extend themselves with the additional tasks, including some students making their boxes, some students 3D printing their boxes, some students making videos and recording songs, and some students actually making their chocolates from real ingredients!  A number of students got involved in some quite complicated calculations and it was great to see students picking their strengths and using them to earn great marks on their projects!  Some photos are included here from some of the great work our students have done.
