 * Chapter 2 Final Project **

//Unit Question: Why is understanding numbers important to human beings?//

Pick a job that uses math! You will need to thoroughly research the job that you have chosen and how math is used. We will spend one day in the library (September 29th) where you can research the job on either the Internet of through the books. You may also choose to interview someone who has this job.

You will need to tell Mrs. Robison the job that you have chosen by Tuesday, September 28th.

You will need to write (or type) a paper that answers all of the following questions. If written, it must be in your best handwriting and legible!!! If typed please double space and use size 12 font. The paper should be **at least** one full page.

On the back side of this sheet is the rubric that will be used to determine the grade on the project. The project will be scored on a 6 point scale. Please thoroughly review the rubric to understand how the project will be graded.
