Unit 1 Math Project

Task:
Using your yellow card number, you will design a WANTED poster describing that number
using vocabulary and real life situations.
Wanted Poster Procedure and Requirements:
It is suggested that you use scrap paper first and then transfer your ideas onto your final piece
of paper to make sure that it meets all of the requirements listed in the rubric.
-Write the word WANTED in big, capital letters across the top of a piece of paper no larger than
8 x 11 (similar in size to a sheet of loose leaf paper).
-Underneath the word WANTED, write the reason your number is wanted. Your reason should
be written in the form of a sentence.
- Underneath the reason you should draw two squares next to one another. In the box on the
left write your numbers mug shot and in the right box you should write aliases (also known
as) for your number.
-Directly below the two squares you are to write at least ten descriptive sentences about your
number. At least FOUR sentences must contain a vocabulary word from the unit. At least ONE
real-world example concerning the number must be written. This one sentence must be true all
the time for the number. (For example, you cannot state there are 5 boys in the class. This
statement is not true all of the time because there may be more or less boys in the class at
times.) One statement must include all factor pairs for the assigned number.
Some questions to think about that could help you generate sentences may include:
How is the number used in the real world? (For example, 20 is the posted speed limit in
New York City.)
When would someone need to use the number?
What does the number look like? (This is a perfect question to answer multiple times so
that you can incorporate the vocabulary words learned in this unit.)
How might the number appear in a math problem?
Where would someone see your number in the real world?
-Your name and class number
Your WANTED poster may be in color and it can also be typed. You may use crayons, paint,
color pencil, markers, construction paper, computer images, or any other creative resource. If
you have any questions about this project do not wait until the last minute to ask me for help.
Remember to use the examples we created in class and the model WANTED poster I showed
you to introduce the project.
