Taking More Math = More $
Higher Math in High School Means
Higher Earnings Later
Need some motivation to take more math in high school or college? Read this article. One of the findings of this research is ..."after controlling for the student’s demographic, family, and high school characteristics, one extra course in algebra or geometry is associated with
6.3 percent higher earnings." For someone who might make $50,000 per year, this would equate to an extra $3150 per year, or $262.50 per month. Over a 30 year career, this is $94,500. If someone said they'd pay you $94,500 to take an extra math course, would you say no?

Repost Algebra 2 Project
This project will be due at the end of chapter 10. Follow the directions carefully and ask questions of me as they arise. The project will be counted as a test grade and will be graded on the following criteria:
- Spelling, Grammar, Puctuation
- Complete Fulfillment of All Portions
- Quality of Writing
While you may assert that this is a math course and not an english course, I would respond that in addition to being able to compute mathematical answers, being able to effectively communicate ideas is also a skill required of anyone in any field of study. Do your best on this and feel free to have me look at your work as you proceed.
Your work will be submitted via email to amann@fz.k12.mo.us in rtf format. You will save your file as yourname_populationexplosion and this will also be the subject line in your email to me. Your paper will be an attachment to your email...DO NOT COPY AND PASTE YOUR PAPER INTO YOUR EMAIL!
