- I have a real serious question.
Turn out my teacher wants a math project!
I have been working on my science project, now he wants math.
Please give me some ideas!
I mean, everything is invented in math.
What project to do ???????
PLEASE HELP!
THANKS
URGENT! HELP! PLEASE!

Possible Math Projects
I agree that it is a lot to expect a student to come up with some brand new Math. However, something you can do is put together some things that are already known. For example, there are several different (paper and pencil, no computer) methods for calculating a square root. You could compare the methods. Is one better than the other for large numbers? Is one faster for small numbers?
Another thing is to simply present a proof of some method that you and your classmates learned to use in class but didn't prove. For example, you probably learned to use the sum of the digits technique to determine whether a large number was divisible by three or nine. There is a neat proof that you can look up and present.

You didn't mention your grade, but I'm guessing that you're in middle or high school.
I went to a science fair the other day for K through 3rd grade. The best example of a math-based expermiment was opening a huge bag of M&Ms, and then counting how many M&Ms of each color there were. They then plotted their results on a histogram chart. For those kids, that was a good experiment. For you, it would be too simple.
So, perhaps you could also do an experiment on math reflections in the world. What is the distribution of flower petals across the same and different types of flowers? How long does it take things to fall from different heights? What is the most efficient way to "pack" different shapes into a box?
The link that a previous person posted will also give you some great ideas.
