Our semester project will consist of a number of related activities, all centering around the idea of mathematics as exploration (as opposed to rote memorization).  You have completed many of these already!  Each activity has on or more deliverables (these are just the things you submit for assessment).  Each deliverable is worth a certain number of points, totalling 100 points for the project overall, and these are described in detail below.  For some deliverables, points will be assigned to the group (each person in the group gets the same number of points), others will be assessed individually.  Please take a look, and don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions.
