Sorry for the lapse in posting homework- my computer was out of commission for a few weeks

Homework- Math Interview Questions- comeup with 5-10 new questions
Assignment:

Multimedia Math Interview Assignment
How Someone in My Life Uses Math


What do I do? Find an adult to interview about how they use math in their lives. They could talk about the math they use in their job, with a hobby or running a household.

How do I do it? This assignment must have a multimedia component.
(*you do not need to buy any electronic equipment, I can lend whatever you need*)
Choice#1- Take pictures with a digital camera-(I have one to borrow if you need it)
Choice #2- Record them talking with either- a digital recorder (mp3) or on a tape recorder ( I have some to borrow if you need one)
Choice #3- Video Record with a camcorder. (many digital cameras take video clips)
Choice #4- Create a Power Point slideshow, then bring the person in and interview them while we watch the presentation.
You could also combine any of the above options. For example, take pictures and record the person talking, then put them together into a video with moviemaker.

How do I bring the recordings / pictures to school?
Email the pictures to the class email- ehgr6@yahoo.ca
Borrow a usb memory key from Mr E and transfer pictures or videos onto it.
Bring the tape from the recorder or video camera (mini dv)
Bring in the video camera and I will keep it at my desk

What do I record, take pictures of or video record? Take pictures of them doing the activities that they talk about in your interview. They could even take pictures at their work if they are talking about their job.

Which questions do I ask?
They will be a little different for each person. We will develop a list of questions in class.
Some questions that everyone will ask:
1-What kind of math do you use? (adding, subtracting, multiplication, , division)
2- Give me two examples of how you use math?
3- What are some large numbers you deal with?
4- Do mistakes ever occur? Why or why not? What happens then?
5- Do you use any special equipment to do math? Computer programs, tools, calculators?

Feb 11th- 20th- Test Equipment, Conduct Interview, Bring Media to School.(pictures,
