They are familiar with The Great Wall, Chinese foods, Chinese inventions and animals such as the giant pandas.
China is regularly in the news.
Children are thus easily drawn into a study of Chinese culture. They want to find out more about a country that has the largest population in the world and which seems so different from their own. The Internet is an excellent source of information for expanding our knowledge of this fascinating culture. This project will allow students to pursue their interest in China and decide on a specific area that interests them in preparing a presentation. Students need varied and meaningful experiences in order to appreciate the usefulness of mathematics, and at the same time to explore connections within mathematics, from mathematics to other disciplines, and from mathematics to their daily experiences.
